Weighing only 1 pound, 4 ounces at birth and completely deaf by 15 months old, Emmanuel (Manny) Parker, spent his first year of life in the NICU. Over 15 years, he's prevailed through 78 blood transfusions and 40 surgeries but hasn't let any of that stop him from hiking, camping, and swimming his way toward becoming an Eagle Scout.
The final step a student must take toward earning Scouting's highest rank is to complete a community service project. Manny let his project take him back to where his own story began; a neonatal intensive care unit, where doctors and nurses care for struggling newborns.

🍎 The District approves a record-high Teacher pay increase for 2023-2024 school year.
The School District of Palm Beach County reached an agreement with the Palm Beach County Classroom Teachers Association (CTA) that will give an average 7% pay increase and one-time 3% bonus to instructional employees. The agreement was approved by the School Board during its Special Meeting on October 4, 2023. The significant raise demonstrates the District’s commitment to fairly compensating the teachers for their hard work and dedication to students.
“Our educators work tirelessly on behalf of our students, and we were thrilled to propose this historic pay increase to the Classroom Teachers Association,” Superintendent Mike Burke said. “This well-deserved raise reflects the largest increase in teacher pay in over 25 years. We are fortunate to have the resources this year to make it possible. The School Board always prioritizes teacher compensation in the budget and this raise demonstrates our appreciation for our dedicated teachers. We hope this also helps us recruit more high-quality teachers.”
