Minutes:
Mr. Susin said that the County is writing a grant to receive money for our BLAST program. He said they are doing it to build greenhouses at each BLAST site. They will in turn use them to grow mangroves and sea grass for the Indian River Lagoon.
He also reported that Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) had applied for its own four year college education courses through the Department of Education and were blocked by the University of Central Florida (UCF). UCF said there was not enough of a need in Central Florida. EFSC will reapply, and Mr. Susin is letting the Board know. He feels it is really unfair and can hurt BPS' opportunity to hire quality teachers.

46. Superintendent's Report
Minutes:
Dr. Blackburn said that on January 24, 2017, the board approved the calendar for the 2017-2018 school year and which approve spring break to be held April 2-4, 2018. Subsequent to that meeting, as we got closer to this year's spring break, people expressed concern about the lateness. Staff did extensive research and put out a survey. Forty-four percent preferred leaving the spring break as it is. With that information, Dr. Blackburn said he will not be bringing a recommendation to the Board to change it.
There was discussion among Board members.
Chairperson Belford said that they are fine with leaving the calendar as it is; but knows that Dr. Blackburn and staff are working to mitigate issues for the following year.
