BDS plans for new location of Tyndall Academy
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Plans for a new school on Tyndall Air Force Base are moving forward. Bay district leaders held a workshop meeting on Tuesday to discuss the next steps for the Tyndall Academy K-8 facility. The current school is old. It was built in 1950 and has had several upgrades, additions and renovations, including substantial repairs following Hurricane Michael. The school district's lease with Tyndall for the campus expires in 2029. The two sides are considering three sites for the new academy. One of them is not on the base. Before selecting a location, they'll commission an acoustic study. 'What we need to do is make sure that we have the sound attenuation in place to help mitigate what's taking place from the aircraft that are flying off the runways, which is right across the street from where the proposed one of the proposed sites are. Sound attenuation is very important as we want to make sure that we're doing the right thing to help provide an environment safe for learning for all of our students,' Bay District Schools Superintendent Mark McQueen said. Then the school district will need to complete an environmental study, acquire a lease and get the funding, all before construction can begin in three years. Tyndall Academy currently serves about 1,000 students. Tyndall officials are anticipating more personnel to be stationed at the base over the next five years. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Kindergarten teacher Hallie Evans inspires with dedication
BAY COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Hallie Evans has been teaching kindergarten for two years now at Tyndall Academy, but her career in education began over 19 years ago at Cherry Street Elementary. During her time as a teacher, she has come to realize the passion and love she has for educating kindergartners and seeing them grow. 'To take them from just developing socialization skills and fine motor skills and then growing,' said Evans. 'Then they leave you reading, writing multiple sentences, adding, subtracting, it's rewarding.' Evans' love for teaching is contagious. Her energy radiates across the campus and is passed along to other teachers. Passionate educator Paula Rosignoli inspires at New Horizons Learning Center 'But when you see that smile and you see that positivity, it really enlightens me as a teacher to say, 'OK, I know she may have had a bad day and she's taken it in. I can do the same.' Again, that just shows how well she perceives herself here at Tyndall Academy,' added Tyndall Academy teacher Jennifer Meredith. Evans understands how important it is to keep her students engaged. By doing so, she is able to provide memorable learning experiences. 'I provide those meaningful experiences that still correlate with the standard but it's fun,' Evans went on to say. 'So if they're excited and we can do an activity that brings something, maybe boring and tedious, some fun to it, they're going to be engaged. They're going to be wanting to learn, they're going to put forth their best effort.' Her co-workers know how fortunate they are to have Evans working alongside them. 'She just is the epitome of an amazing teacher,' Meredith said. 'If I were to go back and say, well, my kindergarten teacher, I'd want it to be Mrs. Evans.' That is why Hallie Evans is a Class Act. If there is someone who you think is a Class Act, don't wait to nominate them today. All school employees are eligible for this award. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
