Hardee County School Board approves class‑size plan, salary schedules and consent agenda; amends an appointment date

The Hardee County School Board on Feb. 12 approved several routine action items and made one appointment.

Class‑size compliance plan: The board approved the 2025–26 class‑size reduction compliance plan (agenda item 10.01). The motion was made by Dr. Sharp and seconded by Miss Dasher; the chair called for the ayes and the item passed.

Salary schedules: The board approved the grandfathered salary schedule and the 2025–26 performance pay salary schedule (agenda item 11.01). The motion was made by Miss Cornell and seconded by Mister Smith; the board voted in favor and the item passed.

Consent agenda amendment and approval: A board member moved to amend a consent‑agenda appointment date for Aaron Myers from 08/04/2026 to 08/04/2025. The amendment was seconded and approved; the full consent agenda then passed after a separate motion.

Appointment to planning & zoning: The board nominated and approved Miss Dasher as the school board representative to the town of Zofo Springs planning and zoning board and selected Dr. Sharp as the alternate. The nominations were moved and seconded on the record and approved by voice vote.

Vote details: Votes were recorded by voice in the meeting transcript (ayes recorded; no roll‑call tallies or member‑by‑member votes were transcribed). When the board recorded votes, the chair called for the ayes and the items passed.

Next steps: Items approved will be reflected in district records; the Red Cross presentation earlier in the meeting was informational and will return for follow up if the district pursues a formal facility usage agreement.
