What Calhoun County District School does

Calhoun County School District is a public K-12 school district organized as a political subdivision of the State of Florida under Florida Statute 1001, serving 2,425 enrolled students across Calhoun County in rural northwest Florida. The district operates four traditional brick-and-mortar schools (Altha Public School, Blountstown Elementary School, Blountstown High School, and Carr Elementary and Middle School) and a Virtual Instruction Program for online K-12 enrollment. It is governed by an elected five-member School Board led by Chairman Danny Ryals and administered by Superintendent Darryl Taylor, Jr., with 251 faculty members and a small administrative staff.

The district delivers core academic instruction alongside a portfolio of support services including Exceptional Student Education (ESE), Title I and Title V federal programs, Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK), the McKay Scholarship program, MTSS/RtI intervention frameworks, mental health services delivered through community provider MOUs, and home school education oversight. Operational technology is built entirely on standard third-party platforms: FOCUS for the student information system, Skyward for finance and HR, ParentSquare for parent communication, PowerSchool for applicant tracking, Follett Destiny for library management, FortifyFL for safety reporting, and SchoolCafé for meal payments.

Revenue is generated through per-pupil FTE allocations from the Florida Department of Education, federal program grants (Title I, Title V, McKinney-Vento), and local property tax millage. Public education is tuition-free for district residents; non-resident students may enroll through controlled open enrollment subject to a published fee schedule administered by Assistant Superintendent Dr. Debbie Williams. Outcome metrics include a 96% graduation rate and an 82% college enrollment rate among graduates.
