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.

Road closures and partial closures are scheduled in Palm Beach

Snowbirds arriving in Palm Beach for the social season are encountering plenty of roadwork of the sort that kept drivers on their guard during the summer months. With multiple projects under way in town, returning residents can expect daily traffic slowdowns as they make their way around the island. The work ranges from the town's efforts to bury all its cellular, internet and powerlines , to the Florida Department of Transportation's work along State Road A1A . Those two projects come on top of the weekend closures of South Ocean Boulevard between Southern Boulevard and South County Road when President Donald Trump returns to his Mar-a-Lago Clubo , as he has done for the past few weeks. According to recent FAA notices, Trump is expected to return as early as Friday, Nov. 13. To keep residents informed, Town Hall staff regularly updates Palm Beach's website, TownofPalmBeach.com , with the latest information on what closures drivers can expect each week.
