The Okaloosa County School Board held a workshop on September 22, 2025, focusing on several key proclamations and financial reports. The meeting began with the superintendent presenting two proclamations: one recognizing September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and another designating the week of September 2025 as Constitution Week.
Following the proclamations, the board moved to committee and staff reports. Miss Perry, the chief financial officer, provided updates on county travel expenses for August 2025, both in-county and out-of-county. Additionally, she presented the financial statements for the Okaloosa Public Schools Foundation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
The board then proceeded to the consent agenda, which included several items for approval. These included the approval of minutes from the previous workshop meeting on September 8, 2025, and the appropriation of capital outlay funds for Shalimar Elementary School. Specifically, $12,145.56 was allocated for clear touch panels from District 1 school board member funds, while an additional $6,249.41 was proposed from District 4 school board member funds, although this latter item was not recommended by the superintendent.
Overall, the meeting addressed important recognitions and financial matters, setting the stage for future discussions and decisions regarding school funding and community awareness initiatives.
