Liberty County School Board approves contracts, travel and bus award; tabled FSBA dues clarification
Summary
At its March 10 meeting the board approved routine consent items including financial reports, personnel actions, a pest-control contract, travel requests, and a bus replacement award notification; an FSBA dues item was pulled pending clarification.
The Liberty County School Board on March 10 approved a slate of routine consent and action items, including financial reports, personnel consent, a pest-control service agreement, staff and student travel authorizations and a bus replacement award notification.
Board members voted in favor of the March 2026 personnel consent table (with corrections), February financial reports and transactions, and a service agreement with J Pest Control Inc. Members discussed whether the district solicited bids for pest control, contract length options (three to five years) and spray frequency, but ultimately approved the agreement.
Travel authorizations approved included Katie (finance) to attend "Institution of Florida School Finance" cohort in Orlando (May 20–22, 2026); Mandy (director Richmond) to attend a spring conference in Tampa (May 27–28, 2026); and staff and student travel for state conferences. The board also approved a Florida Department of Education bus replacement project award notification.
One agenda item — renewal of Florida School Boards Association (FSBA) dues for 2026–27 — was pulled for clarification after members questioned how dues are calculated, whether a board member can "invoke" an adjustment under statute, and whether payment is charged to the next fiscal year. The chair agreed to pull the item and seek clarification from FSBA staff before returning it to a future meeting.
Motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote for the approved items; the FSBA dues item was removed from the floor for follow-up. No dollar totals for contracts or the bus award were provided in the meeting minutes presented to the board during the discussion.
