Florida School Board reviewing applicants for next superintendent

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A dozen candidates, including two current school district employees, have applied to be the next school superintendent. Superintendent David Moore notified the School Board in August he plans to retire in June. The board set a tight timeline for receiving applications, soliciting public input, interviewing finalists and naming a replacement for Moore by mid-December. The board wants to select and hire a new superintendent who can work with Moore before he leaves. Moore, who became superintendent in 2019, is credited with leading the Indian River County School District through transformational change, helping it improve from 38th in the state to fifth. The district has received four consecutive "A" grades from the Florida Department of Education. Application deadline was Oct. 26. The next step is for the School Board to review applications at a public workshop, 12:45 p.m. Nov. 17. Finalists are expected to be named at the workshop, with interviews to begin next month. The two internal candidates — William Dodds and Christina Jacobs — have extensive experience within the school district. Dodds has been district chief financial officer since earlier this year. He previously was principal of Sebastian Charter Junior High from 2017-2026 and an

Chimp sanctuary delivers an ape's food by drone amid Florida floods

A Florida chimpanzee sanctuary briefly had to deliver food to one of its 200 apes by drone this week because the property was swamped by heavy rain. But Save the Chimps says the animals stayed safe. By Saturday, the water finally was receding significantly. Rainstorms soaked southeast and central Florida from Sunday through Tuesday. Save the Chimps is near Fort Pierce. The organization says the animals' care houses were secure on high ground, but canals overflowed and submerged the internal roads that staffers normally use to deliver food to the apes by golf cart. Save the Chimps bought a delivery drone some time ago for just such an emergency.
