In 1997, the Escambia County School District implemented a visionary initiative − a half-cent sales tax aimed at revolutionizing the local education landscape. Over the years, this innovative funding source has become a cornerstone for the district's ambitious projects, providing crucial support for the construction of replacement schools such as A.K. Suter, Ernest Ward Middle, and Pleasant Grove Elementary School, and new schools Global Learning Academy, Kingsfield Elementary, and Beulah Middle School. The sales tax also funded renovations of existing facilities (Woodham to West Florida High School, O.J. Semmes, Ferry Pass Middle, Pensacola High School), additions, land acquisition, and advancements in technology.
