District academic services staff brought several routine agreements to the workshop: a contract correction for the Flagler Youth Orchestra and two dual‑enrollment articulation agreements, one with the University of Florida and a second with Daytona State College.

Academic presenter Jeff Leeds explained a clerical correction to the Youth Orchestra contract: an item listed as "$183 per hour" was meant to be "$183 per month" for one contract line and will be corrected before execution. Leeds said the orchestra averages about 200 students annually and has combined district support with fundraising; ticket prices were raised $2 in the most recent season to help balance their budget.

Staff also presented a two‑year continuation of the University of Florida dual‑enrollment articulation agreement. Leeds said the agreement continues the existing arrangement (10 student slots per school, routinely filled) and that there is no additional cost to the district for the continuation. A separate annual continuation with Daytona State College likewise carries no additional cost and will include updated program name adjustments and two appendices (equivalency sheets to be updated after state guidance is released).

Why it matters: Dual‑enrollment and arts partnerships offer expanded academic options for students without additional cost in the presented renewals; the orchestra contract correction clarifies compensation terms before final signatures.

The items were presented at the workshop; staff said corrected contract language and final documents will be returned for the board’s formal action as needed.
