Manatee County School Board Meeting

Facilities contracts, job descriptions and a long consent list make up much of the business before the School Board of Manatee County, which meets in the board room at the School Support Center in Bradenton. The 23 consent items include a roughly $950,000 federal school-improvement grant, the 2026-27 school improvement plans and a Cambridge AICE purchase. Separate votes cover new job descriptions for 11-month assistant principal and associate director posts, and authority to negotiate design and construction-management services for HVAC work at Bayshore and Lakewood Ranch high schools, plus a career and technical education addition at Bayshore. Recognitions, Red Ribbon and Holocaust Education Week proclamations, and year-to-date financial statements fill out the agenda.
