Summary

Escambia County Public Schools is considering a $1 increase in ticket prices for various sporting events starting in the 2026-27 school year. Superintendent Keith Leonard informed the school board on June 15 that the change is due to rising security costs, including higher fees for off-duty law enforcement officers. Current ticket prices for high school games range from $6 to $7 for adults, with discounts for students. No decisions have been finalized, as the school board has yet to vote on the proposed increase.
