Executive Summary
The Director of Secondary Programs, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board to recognize Springstead High School and Nature Coast Technical High School who received recognition from the College Board’s National AP Honor Roll. Springstead High School achieved Silver status and Nature Coast Technical High School acheived Bronze status with Access, signifying certain criteria were met. The Silver and Bronze status is based on factors such as the percentage of students taking AP exams, the percentage scoring three or higher, and the percentage taking five or more exams with a spread across grades. Additionally, the Access award acknowledges schools demonstrating a commitment to equitable access to advanced coursework, ensuring underrepresented minority and/or low-income students’ participation aligns with the overall student demographics.

See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
