Last week, Okaloosa School Board Member Dr. Diane Kelley announced that she would not be seeking re-election later this year.

Dr. Kelley says she was recently offered an opportunity to work for HOPE Squad, an organization that she has volunteered with for nearly 3 years.

On Friday, realtor Joe Fagundes announced his candidacy for the District 5 seat that represents the Niceville/Bluewater Bay and Eglin Air Force Base schools.

“This decision has been in the making for several years and I would like to thank our current School Board member Diane Kelley for her many years of service to the School District and most recently as the District 5 School Board member,” said Fagundes.
