Summary
The Escambia County School Board approved the revised agenda, multiple sets of minutes, the consent agenda, the superintendent's evaluation and internal audit/inventory items—each motion carried by recorded voice vote, typically 5–0.
The Escambia County School Board convened Dec. 2025 and approved a series of routine items by unanimous voice votes. After the chair found good cause for several post-publication changes to the agenda, the board adopted the agenda, then took up multiple sets of minutes, the consent agenda and personnel and audit items.
The board first recorded a finding of good cause under state statute for agenda changes, then voted to adopt the agenda. Members subsequently considered amendments to meeting minutes from several dates (including 10/13/2024; a February date not specified in the record; 07/15/2025; 08/16/2025; and regular workshop and organizational meeting minutes from November) and approved each by voice vote.
The consent agenda—covering curriculum, finance, human resources, operations and superintendent items including student and employee discipline—was presented with no pulls and approved 5–0. The board also approved the superintendent's evaluation and accepted internal audits and inventory reports presented under the internal auditing section. Board member Bethel noted that the items had been discussed at a prior workshop the previous Thursday, clarifying they were not new to board members.
No contested motions, amendments, or recorded roll-call dissent were reported in the transcript. The meeting moved from routine business to presentations and public comment after the votes. The board adjourned following closing remarks and holiday greetings.
