At its Jan. 16 meeting the Santa Rosa County School Board voted unanimously on a range of administrative and action‑agenda items. Below is a concise list of the items presented and the outcomes recorded in the meeting minutes.
Approved (unanimous unless noted): - Approval of minutes from the Dec. 10, 2024 meeting (motion recommended by superintendent; Mr. Elliott and Mrs. Danborn cited in the motion sequence). - Change order for traffic/signal and civil revisions at the Soundside High School site (staff recommended approval; motion carried unanimously). - Phase 3 approval for TR Jackson Pre‑K kitchen renovation (staff recommended approval; motion carried unanimously). - Award of Jay Elementary kitchen and cafeteria renovation to the low bidder (three bidders; low bid ≈ $1.68M; total with two alternates ≈ $1.971M); board approved contract award. - Approval of surplus asset disposition (agenda item; approved to proceed with disposition/sale). - Direct purchasing change orders as presented (approved). - Administrative agenda items noted as recommended for approval (minutes and administrative motions recorded as approved). - Early termination of an alternative placement (curriculum/instruction item; recommended and approved). - Recommendations of the disciplinary committee and other alternative placements (approved). - Spring sports schedules (approved). - Head Start reports (approved after staff presentation). - Public hearing and approval of additional changes to the 2024–2025 Student Progression Plan (no public speakers; public hearing closed and item approved).
Several other routine items were on the agenda for review (SAC minutes, Safe Schools quarterly report, TAG reports); these were presented for review or approved as indicated in the packet. Where votes were recorded the transcript indicates unanimous approval; individual roll‑call tallies were not read aloud for most items and the minutes show no recorded dissents.
All motions that required a vote during the meeting were carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition, and staff indicated next steps or follow‑up reporting for contract or procurement items where applicable.
