Board Rejects Hiring Freeze in Okaloosa Schools
Okaloosa County school board members rejected a proposed hiring freeze for administrative and supervisory staff by a 3-2 vote. Bernadette Cover sought the freeze at a Tuesday meeting, urging review of new jobs for non instructional personnel, but the motion was tabled and not adopted. Superintendent Pledger Sullivan indicated no issue with Cover’s limits, while board members noted the policy role lies with the board and the superintendent to propose personnel.
