10/27/2026 Flagler School Board Information Workshop

The October 27, 2026 Flagler Schools information workshop covered a proposed graduation-venue contract, district salary schedules, and possible disposition of the surplus Corp 1 Drive property. Staff presented a contract with the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach for the May 26, 2027 graduations: Mainland High School at 2 p.m. and Spruce Creek and Seabreeze high schools at 7 p.m. The venue’s cost was described as higher than last year, but no dollar amount was stated; the transcript does not record a vote or contract approval. The board also reviewed the 2026–27 salary schedules after bargaining concluded, with questions raised about five-year salary trends and comparisons to state medians.

For Corp 1 Drive, declared unnecessary for educational purposes in 2014, staff cited two appraisals of approximately $4.46 million and $6.01 million and reviewed prior proposals, including an offer of $1.9 million for four acres that the board did not pursue. Board members discussed sale versus lease, selling the parcel whole or in smaller pieces, and safeguards for any future offer. The board gave consensus for staff to begin preparing the property for an open-market sale and return with recommendations; no sale, buyer, or price was approved. No other procurement award was identified.
