It is never too early to begin thinking about the step your student takes after graduation. Florida Prepaid has plans that begin at just $29/Month.
Focused on encouraging families to save as early and affordably as possible, our partner Florida Prepaid College College Savings Plans has reduced Prepaid Plan monthly prices for newborns and infants to the lowest in more than a decade.
Prepaid Plans allow families to lock in the cost of college with fixed monthly payments. A risk-free 1-Year University Plan now starts at just $29/month for the Prepaid Plan Open Enrollment period from February 1 - April 30, 2025. The reduced prices result in savings of up to $850 per plan for a 1-Year University Plan – up to $3,400 in savings for four years.\
Prepaid Plans are made to fit growing families:
• Use in-state or nationwide at public, private, trade and technical schools
• Complements scholarships and financial aid
• Transfer to another student or cancel anytime
• Earnings grow tax-free

After collaborating with local and state weather experts, the Walton County School District has made the decision to close schools on both Tuesday and Wednesday, January 21 and 22 due to a Winter Storm. The closure includes students and employees as well as SPICE and extra curricular activities. Walton may begin to see precipitation to include ice on Tuesday afternoon which will make it unsafe for school buses to be on roads and bridges. Wednesday may continue to see freezing temperatures which may keep ice on the roadways. We will continue to monitor the weather, as safety is always our number one priority. At this time, we expect to be back at school on Thursday, January 23. Stay safe, and continue to stay engaged with your schools and our online platforms for more information.
Based on information from the National Weather Service and with our local weather partners, all Walton County schools will remain closed on Friday, September 27th.
