Hernando County School Board Schedules Full Day of Meetings January 13

The School Board of Hernando County will convene multiple sessions on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, in the Board Room at 919 N. Broad Street, Brooksville. The schedule begins with employee appeal hearings at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., followed by an informal session at 1:00 p.m., a workshop at 2:00 p.m., a special meeting for a litigation update at 4:00 p.m., and the regular board meeting at 6:00 p.m.

The stated purpose of the day is to conduct such business as may come before the Board. Community members are advised to consult the agenda before attending, since the sequence of meetings and the types of items discussed could have practical implications for district operations. Employee appeal hearings and any litigation-related presentations may touch on personnel decisions that influence staffing levels, school leadership and the provision of services that impact student health and safety.

These sessions are particularly relevant to parents, school employees and service providers who track school-based health care, mental health supports and special education services. Changes in personnel or policy outcomes resulting from board action can alter how and where students access nurses, counselors, behavioral supports and accommodations. For communities already facing disparities in access to health and social services, board decisions about resource allocation and staffing carry equity implications.

The workshop and the regular meeting may include policy, budget or program items that shape longer-term priorities for the district. Residents concerned about access to care at schools, transportation for students with health needs, or the distribution of health-related funding should review the posted materials and consider attending the meetings where public comment and board deliberation occur.

Agendas, updates and related materials will be available on the School Board’s website at hernandoschools.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Copies of the agenda may also be requested in writing at 919 North Broad Street, Brooksville, FL 34601, or by calling Kelly Pogue, Executive Office Manager to the School Board and General Counsel, at 352-797-7253. Community members seeking clarity on specific items or timing should obtain the agenda in advance to ensure meaningful participation and to understand how forthcoming board actions may affect local schools and health services.
