Public Content
The Okaloosa County School District (OCSD) is continuing the planning of its Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Data Science (DS)/Machine
Learning (ML) program. We have a contracted liaison in place who is working directly with the University of Florida and Dr. Nancy
Ruzycki. We have finalized a Contract and Scope of Work which are now in the approval phase. The University of Florida will be writing
Florida Department of Education (FDOE) Curriculum Frameworks for a new AI/DS/ML program in the Information Technology cluster to
be submitted to FDOE in the fall of 2022.
To prepare for the upcoming year (2022-2023), our local instructors will undergo a week-long boot camp in May 2022 led by UF and
hosted by the Doolittle Institute. According to Amazon’s career Web site for technical positions, the Python programming language is a
high demand skill in the world of AI. We will continue to track industry-defined needs as we build the program backwards to elementary
and further through high school and are excited about working with other districts following our implementation.
This purchase is exempt under 6A-1.012(12)(f).
