Vicki Adams, Chief Financial Officer, and Director Patrick Golemme, Chief of Services, Clay County Sheriff's Office, provided a year-end update (attached) for the 2025/2025 school year.

Statistics re dispatched calls, threat assessments, case dispositions (95.33% clearance rate), incident reporting, seized contraband, and training hours were highlighted. Individual CHIRP (County Hazards Incident Response Plans) were completed and reviewed for each school. Security walks through all 37 schools were conducted along with district safety personnel and Clay County Fire Rescue. School Resource Officers (SROs) have completed all mandatory training requirements, including crisis intervention, cyber-security and infrastructure, threats of violence, vaping, active assailant, and SROs have engaged in joint initiatives with the district.

Board members' questions and discussion included the SROs working with the guardians to ensure all safety protocols are understood, the ability to share information with other Florida counties, working with the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) to ensure awareness of students' correct educational settings and supervision, and the need to provide additional education to students and families re the physical and legal effects of vaping.

A recap of the 2024-2025 funding compared the original budget request to actuals and reflected a reversion of funds totaling $769,554.76 back to Clay County District Schools.

Superintendent Broskie thanked CCSO for their great work and partnership.

Hannah Carter, Senior Account Executive, The Bailey Group, shared a presentation (attached) to review network discounts and savings. Christina Isais, Supervisor of Risk Management and Employee Benefits also participated in answering questions and relating information to board members.

Adequate funding of the plan was discussed, and the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation's requirement for self-funded school districts to keep an actuarially sound and funded plan reserve was reviewed. 

Board members' discussion included the need to provide additional information to employees to guide them in their selection of benefits and providers, how savings are reflected (primarily based on future savings), virtual informational meetings available to employees, how information can be reinforced and communicated to employees during pre-planning and via email, the substantial funds that have been saved by utilizing the self-funded model, and the ability of CCDS to maintain current premium costs for the past six (6) years, absorbing any additional cost to employees.

Terri Dennis, Coordinator of Communications and Media, reviewed the attached visual presentation re Apptegy, the platform for the district's website and app that was launched in January 2025. There has been a significant increase in active users, and user engagement has shown a dramatic improvement. "Rooms" was launched in May 2025 and will be the primary method for school-to-guardian communication for the 2025-2026 school year. The marketing plan for parents and guardians to download the new app and stay connected with the district and their children's schools will continue.

Board members' discussion included Apptegy being the type of platform/format that parents and the community had requested, other programs which are now no longer needed as a result of Apptegy, and the expenditure for the program occurring a year ago, prior to changes in state funding. This platform will also be used for teacher/coach communication to students. 

Social media pages will be streamlined and pulled back to a degree to ensure compliance with public record laws. The app is ADA compliant, offering full accessibility, and there is no data sharing. A lot of training has taken place to protect teachers' and students' identities.

Superintendent Broskie requested board members contact him with any questions or concerns relating to the August 7, 2025 agenda.

Mrs. Clark appreciated the presentation for the self-funded insurance program and the savings realized from this insurance product. 

Mrs. Skipper requested that Ms. Dennis add the report card posted on social media to the next Board Brief. 

Mrs. Hanson requested the graphic provided by CCSO be provided to the public, and it will be attached to the agenda/minutes for this meeting.
