The Escambia School District held its regular school board meeting on April 19, 2025, focusing on various updates and reports from committees and departments. The meeting commenced with a presentation from the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), delivered by Miss Campbell.

Miss Campbell provided an overview of recent PTA activities in Escambia County. She highlighted a significant achievement on March 27, when 51 students from seven schools were recognized at the county council level for their participation in the National PTA's Reflections Arts program. The board chair, David Williams, along with members Mrs. Bergosh and Mr. Herrell, attended the event to support the students. Following this, it was announced that six of these students received accolades at the state level, either as merit or honorable mention winners.

Additionally, Miss Campbell reported on the spring leadership training held by the Escambia County Council of PTAs (ECCPTA) on April 5. This training, funded by a mini grant from the United Way of West Florida, featured guest instructors from the Florida PTA and National PTA. They provided valuable insights into PTA operations, leadership, and programs such as the National PTA's Healthy Minds initiative. The event also included door prizes from local sponsors, enhancing the experience for attendees.

In a notable development, Miss Campbell announced the successful reinstatement of the Oakcrest Elementary PTA on April 2. This brings the total number of active local unit PTAs in Escambia County to 30, reflecting a growing commitment to parental involvement and community engagement in schools.

The meeting concluded with Miss Campbell expressing gratitude for the opportunity to share these updates, emphasizing the positive impact of the PTA on students and the community.
