Still missing: the governing board

The superintendent record does not complete the school-board record.

FLDOE's statewide page does not name this district's current board members or publish their seats, terms, vacancies, meetings, votes, election records, boundaries, contracts, or vendors. Election.org leaves those fields open instead of confusing an administrator with the elected governing body.

Source: Florida Department of Education public superintendent directory, checked 2026-08-30. Election.org joined all 67 county districts to NCES by exact FL-01–FL-67 agency ID. Public work contacts are reproduced as published; no private contact data is inferred. A dated directory row is not proof of continued service after this check.

Source-reported nominal dollars. Amount fields are converted from source thousands to dollars. No inflation adjustment is applied. An exact identifier links published source rows; it does not erase consolidations, closures, reorganizations, or other real institutional changes between years. Constant-dollar comparisons use BLS CPI-U series CUUR0000SA0, annual U.S. city average; this is not a local cost-of-living index. Joined by exact Census PID6 or NCES LEAID; names are never used.

About this school data

Census and NCES records describe this system’s enrollment, finances and schools for the years shown. Board, election and meeting information, when available, has separate sources and dates. An unlisted item means it is not covered here—not that it does not exist. Check the district’s official notices for current meetings and officeholders.
