Following an opinion article by Leon County School Board Alva Smith addressing operational efficiencies, Superintendent Rocky Hanna, during Tuesday’s school board meeting, pledged to conduct an operational review of school finances before the end of the year.
Smith has argued for almost a year that the operation of low-capacity schools was hurting LCS finances. In the opinion article she stated, “It is time to reimagine Leon County Schools, do what’s best for our students and teachers, and stop trying to operate the same number of facilities on a decreasing level of students and revenue.”
Smith noted that all but seven of Leon’s traditional public schools have experienced between 2%-35% declines in enrollment from 2010 to 2025.
Smith had indicated that she would make a motion during Tuesday’s meeting to mandate a review of school board operations. However, Hanna headed off the motion by addressing the Board and pledging to complete an evaluation of operations and present a plan on how to address some of Smith’s concerns.
Smith seemed content with Hanna’s pledge and did not bring forth a motion. Smith stated she now feels like her concerns are being heard.

He should commit to resigning.
Rock’s solution is to raise taxes. Don’t reduce ANYTHING. It’s easy with other peoples money…
So, according to your headline, Rocky commits to doing his job. If he is just now committing to evaluating the way his school system operates, just what in the heck has he been doing? That’s rhetorical… I know what he’s been doing, he’s been driving literacy rates down and trans-insanity rates up. And he’s betting he has made people dumb enough for him to get re-elected.
The Govornor needs to lift the hands off Leon County Historical Policy and DOGE the HEII out of these players.
Would not be surprised if the above dog & pony show was Rocky and Alva’s pre-staged way of kissing and making up so this entire issue of Opperational In-Efficiencies may be, going forward, quickly and quietly swept under the rug.
Good, you feel that your concerns are being heard, now lets see if they are acted on.
Rocky doesn’t know the meaning of budget…
