Barry To Present $50K To Schools For Firefighter, Criminal Justice Academies

December 15, 2015

Early this evening, District 5 Commissioner Steven Barry, on behalf of the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, will make a special $50,000 check presentation to the Escambia County Public Schools Foundation for two new career academies: the Escambia County Fire Fighter Academy at Pine Forest High School and the Escambia County Criminal Justice Academy at Escambia High School.

ECSD career academies are small, learning communities within local middle or high schools that focus on a career pathway for a two-, three-, or four-year span. Participating students develop knowledge in a given industry and, in most academies, have the opportunity to earn industry certification relevant to the career academy.

The public is invited to the presentation at 5:30 p.m. at the J.E. Hall Educational Services Center located at 30 East Texar Drive during the regular meet of the school board.

    I believe Pine Forest is in District 5, but I don’t believe Escambia is. It doesn’t matter anyway, the money is for a good cause.

    Dan, read it again. It clearly states that he’s presenting it on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners, not on behalf of District 5.

    What are the district five boundaries? Are these schools in district five
