Flagler County School Board approves instructional calendar, expulsion and multiple consent items; separate vote held on vendor check

The Flagler County School Board on Jan. 28 approved its 2025–26 instructional calendar, an expulsion with services for student ID 18160554, a clinical affiliation agreement with Western Governors University and multiple consent packages including finance, operational services, human resources and academic services.

Why it matters: The instructional calendar sets the schedule for the district’s school year, the expulsion decision affects an individual student’s placement and services, and the clinical affiliation and consent packages authorize routine district operations and vendor payments that keep schools running.

Several motions were made from the floor and approved by voice vote; recorded roll-call tallies were not provided in the meeting transcript for individual votes, and those tallies were reported as unanimous or passed. A board member requested the vendor payment item be split and recused from the separated check (328508); the separated check was then voted on separately and approved.

The superintendent, board chair and multiple board members noted that consent items had been workshopped previously and encouraged members of the public seeking more detail to review the workshop recordings.

Ending The board moved to public comment after the listed action items were concluded.
