Citrus County School Board adopts agenda and approves staffing, field trip, learning catalog and athletic-training amendment
Summary
At a special meeting the Citrus County School Board adopted the agenda and approved personnel recommendations, an out-of-state FFA trip, an updated professional learning catalog and a first amendment to the athletic training services agreement with Tampa General Hospital.
The Citrus County School Board opened a special meeting shortly after 9 a.m. and, by voice vote, adopted its agenda before approving several routine items including personnel recommendations, a student field trip, and updates to district learning materials.
The board approved instructional and support recommendations listed on the district’s Goldenrod slate. A board member asked for clarification after staff noted the personnel list included two terminations and one resignation amid an ongoing investigation; district staff said those employees were suspended without pay and provided the board with the reasoning supplied in the personnel summaries.
The board also approved a request for LaCanto High School to attend the FFA National Convention in Indianapolis in October 2025. A board member who identified himself as the parent of an FFA student called the trip “an educational success” and the motion passed by voice vote.
District staff presented the updated Citrus County Schools 2021–2026 Professional Learning Catalog (formerly the master in-service plan). Board members questioned items including assessment training versus grading, a highlighted ‘‘Veil training’’ on page 22, and the use of a ‘‘school manager’’ job title; staff clarified that assessment training and grading are distinct offerings and that the highlight reflected an update. After discussion the board approved the catalog.
The board approved a first amendment to the athletic training services agreement between the district and Tampa General Hospital; staff said Miss Lindeman was unable to attend and a colleague presented the amendment on her behalf. The amendment was approved by voice vote and board members thanked Tampa General for its partnership.

Where personnel actions were approved, the board relied on staff summaries; no roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript. The meeting then moved into a workshop to review policy updates and district initiatives.
