🚌 National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌
October 19th–23rd, 2026 is National School Bus Safety Week! This year’s national theme is "Safe Rides, Everyday Heroes." 💛
Keeping our students safe on the way to and from school is a community effort. Please keep these key reminders in mind:
For Drivers: Always stop when yellow school bus lights flash red and the stop arm is extended. Slow down in school zones and eliminate all distractions.
For Students: Stay visible! Be extra cautious around the 10-foot area surrounding the bus and always stand three big steps back from the curb while waiting.
A huge THANK YOU to our dedicated OneClay bus drivers and transportation staff - our everyday heroes behind the wheel! 🛣️✨
🚌 Want to be a bus driver? We’re hiring!
Join our transportation team and help drive the future of Clay County! Visit oneclay.net/bus to explore current employment opportunities.
❤️ Give this post a like to show your appreciation for our amazing school bus drivers!

🎉 BIG NEWS, CLAY COUNTY! 🎉
Clay County District Schools has officially been named one of only 18 Academically High-Performing School Districts in the entire state of Florida for the 2025–2026 school year by the Florida Department of Education!
This prestigious recognition reflects our dedication to academic excellence, operational accountability, and student success across every classroom.
To earn and maintain this status, school districts must meet rigorous state benchmarks:
Academic Excellence: Earn an "A" district grade for two consecutive years without any district-operated school receiving an "F."
Classroom Focus: Fully comply with state class size requirements.
Fiscal Responsibility: Maintain clean annual financial audits with no material weaknesses or compliance issues.
This milestone is a direct result of the commitment of our teachers, support professionals, administrators, and district leadership under Superintendent David Broskie, paired with the hard work of our students and the steadfast support of our families and community.
Thank you for believing in our students and making Clay County a leader in Florida public education! 📚✨

On November 3, Clay County voters will consider the renewal of the existing One Mill ad valorem funding for four years (July 1, 2027 – June 30, 2031).
Because this measure is a renewal of the existing operating millage, it continues current funding without increasing tax rates. Revenues are strictly dedicated to two operational priorities:
School Safety: Funding law enforcement contracts for campus officers.
Employee Compensation: Providing competitive pay to retain and attract quality teachers and support staff.
All expenditures are subject to review by an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Visit oneclay.net/renewal for more information.
