It’s not looking hopeful for the Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club. (© FlaglerLive)
From one perspective, the future of the Belle Terre Swim and Racquet Club keeps looking dimmer, its deficit unrelenting, the likelihood of steeply increased membership fees looming, and little to no interest from other government agencies to help beyond what one of them–the county–is doing now.
From another perspective, the club may yet have another savior: Gustavo Calado, owner of Planet Swim, a Ponte Vedra-based for profit offering services very similar to the Swim and Racquet Club, is interested in the property–either to take it over, or to run it in partnership with the district. But those talks are at the preliminary stage. There are no commitments.

At of the end of the current school year, RemoteLive will be no more. Superintendent Cathy Mittelstadt released a statement on April 20 discontinuing the hybrid classes as of the end of this school year, saying that the majority of our students perform best when they are physically in our classrooms.
Beginning this fall, Flagler Schools students will be back to their traditional two choices: in-person classes or online iFlagler classes (visit www.iflagler.org through July 10 to register).
I echo Mittelstadt s words of praise for the district during the pandemic: Our teachers, staff, and administrators worked tirelessly.
I have seen the dedication of Flagler Schools teachers first hand with my own children, and I am so grateful for them. Teachers have called our home when they had concerns; they have responded to our texts and emails; they have given timely words of encouragement.
