Due to growth, the school district is considering land purchases in Lakewood Ranch and near Clark Road.

The policy would make the school board compliant with state law.

The two organizations partnered to bring ONEPass, a program that contains a variety of learning tools, to the county.

Caroline Zucker will serve as board chair in her last year on the board.

The school board will vote on a "mutual separation agreement" that would terminate Bowden's contract Dec. 31.

The classrooms were made possible thanks to grant from Gulf Coast Community Foundation and The Charles & Margery Barancik Foundation.

The school board will decide whether to do nothing, reprimand, suspend or fire Superintendent Todd Bowden at a special meeting at 9 a.m. Dec. 10.
