The Okaloosa County School Board on April 13 voted 4-0 to accept the appointment of Charlie Marello to a district administrative role, Superintendent Chambers announced during the meeting.
Superintendent Chambers introduced Marello, outlining his career from teacher and coach to principal at Destin Middle and Niceville High School and his service with regional secondary school organizations.

Mr. Destin made the motion to accept the appointment and Mr. Heinley seconded; the board recorded an "I" vote and the motion passed unanimously.
After the vote, Marello addressed the board and attendees, thanking colleagues and family and saying he looked forward to joining the Okaloosa County School District human-resources team under "the leadership of Miss Lindseay Maxi."
