LOOKING AHEAD: URGENCY, AGILITY, AND CONTINUED PARTNERSHIP Over the next 18 to 24 months, St. Lucie’s priorities remain consistent with its identity: build boldly, partner deeply, and keep students at the center. Dr. Prince describes the district as operating with urgency and a willingness to take calculated risks to achieve long-term payoff for students. In his view, education leadership requires political will, but that will must be grounded in service—not adult convenience. Wild highlights another differentiator: agility. Large districts are not typically described as agile, but St. Lucie is building a culture that makes rapid adaptation normal. That agility is evident in how quickly the district has converted spaces, redesigned pathways, and aligned new programming to new industries. At the core of it all is the belief that started the conversation: all children are capable of success, no exceptions. In St. Lucie County, that belief is not a tagline. It is a strategy—and it is producing opportunity at scale. 334 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 07, ISSUE 01
