Summary
At its Nov. 18 organizational meeting the Escambia County School Board elected chair and vice chair, appointed the board attorney as parliamentarian, set regular meeting dates and times, and recognized staff including the November 'Stellar Employee' and four PBIS model schools; organizational motions passed unanimously.
The Escambia County School Board completed organizational business at its Nov. 18, 2025 meeting, electing leadership, approving administrative procedures and recognizing staff and schools.
Board members nominated and confirmed leadership: a nomination for chair was moved and later recorded as passing 5‑0, and Mister Adams was confirmed as vice chair by a 5‑0 vote (SEG 019–042). The board also set its regular meeting schedule — monthly meetings on the third Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in Room 160 of the Hall Center with the prior Thursday workshop at 1 p.m. — and appointed the board attorney (El Notham) to continue serving as parliamentarian; both motions were approved unanimously (SEG 048–056, SEG 071–081).
During a brief lease‑corporation organizational session, the board approved a motion that the school board chair serve as president of the Escambia Public School District Leasing Corporation, the vice chair serve as vice president, and the superintendent serve as secretary; that motion passed 5‑0 (SEG 158–170). Board motions to adopt the meeting agenda and to approve minutes from prior meetings were also moved and carried without dissent.
The board used the meeting to recognize staff: Connie Bryant was named the district’s November 2025 Stellar Employee; the superintendent credited her 31 years with the district and her role as secretary for workforce education (SEG 336–416). The board announced four PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) model schools for the 2024–25 academic year — two bronze recipients (Blue Angels Elementary and Ernest Ward Middle School), one silver (Ransom Middle School) and one gold (Navy Point Elementary) — and named their PBIS coaches and principals (SEG 447–463).
What’s next: motions for administrative processes, minutes and consent agenda items were approved during the meeting; the board reconvened for the regular session and moved on to the public forum where community members addressed removals, ICE guidance and ESE staffing concerns.
