10/27/26 Flagler School Board Information Workshop

Flagler Schools’ October 27, 2026 information workshop included discussion of a graduation venue contract and possible disposition of surplus property. Staff presented a contract with the Ocean Center of Daytona Beach for the May 26, 2027 graduation ceremonies, with fees included; the amount is garbled in the transcript (“$52,14…”). The discussion cited the venue’s parking capacity, indoor setting, and weather protection. No formal vote on the contract is clearly recorded in the transcript.

The board discussed the district’s 7.11-acre surplus property at One Corporate Drive, including an appraisal of $4.46 million and an original purchase price of $3.5 million. Members expressed support for preparing the property for an open-market, competitive sale process rather than accepting an unsolicited offer or pursuing a lease; the board could reject bids, and the discussion emphasized establishing a suitable minimum price and considering the property’s highest and best use. Members raised concerns about an offer’s $5,000 earnest-money deposit, limited financial information, and lengthy due-diligence period. The superintendent summarized board consensus to begin preparing the property for sale, with no formal vote or sale award identified. Salary schedule data and the superintendent’s contract renewal process were also discussed, without a procurement decision.
