The board workshop focused on the district's budget for the 2026-2027 fiscal year, specifically reviewing the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) allocation and projected increases. Key discussions included the impact of funding allocations on scholarship programs for private schools, charter school funding, and categorical allocations for mental health, safe schools, transportation, and academic acceleration. The board examined budget management and accountability measures, including improved purchase order processes, department-level budgeting, and strategies to manage personnel costs and staffing. Additional topics included grant management improvements, transparency tools on the district's finance webpage, and upcoming requests for proposals regarding the marketing and sale of district properties. The superintendent also provided updates on revisions to the Student Code of Conduct and anticipated timelines for its adoption.
