At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on May 7, 2024, Commissioner Baxter presented a proclamation declaring May 7, 2024, as Spelling Bee Day in Palm Beach County. In 1909, the School District of Palm Beach County was established and began providing an educational system for our youth, becoming the 10th-largest school district in the country. The School District of Palm Beach County and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners recognize the combined efforts of teachers, parents and volunteers who support our students in their academic missions.
