SCHOOL DISTRICT PROJECTS UP FOR BOARD MEMBER DISCUSSION DURING NEXT BOARD MEETING 

WHO:   School Board Members, Executive Leadership Team, the Public, GEMs

WHAT: School board members plan to meet to discuss capital projects in the school district’s pipeline within the next five years. Gerald Adams Elementary School and Plantation Key School are currently under construction, with Stanley Switlik Elementary School up next on the timeline.

Superintendent Mark Porter said the hurricane damage and safety upgrades have informed the decisions the operations and planning team made moving forward. “The damage at our schools amounted to many smaller jobs our facilities and maintenance crews had to handle and are still tackling this year. Therefore, we have taken these repairs, and the security upgrades our families and students deserve into consideration when thinking about what other projects may come next.”

Key Largo School fifth graders plan to deliver a report to board members on an innovative plastic recycling program they have implemented. The Key’s Children’s Foundation also granted KLS $15,000 for the summer school programming, an item on the consent agenda the board will vote on.

Board members will also hear from the district early learning team for a Head Start program update. They will vote on nine action items, including the approval of a Head Start grant application for the 2018-2019 school year, the approval of the Head Start supplemental application, the approval of the ballot language related to the millage increase, and Florida Keys Area Health Education Center’s contract for the provision of primary care medical services for the next school year. There will be a leasing corporation meeting also for members to act on two items.
