This week’s episode of TalkFlagler features John Fanelli, a Flagler Schools district employee, and former Palm Coast City Councilman. Fanelli is a career educator who has worn several hats for Flagler Schools, currently a behavior coordinator. In 2022 he was appointed to the Palm Coast City Council to fill out the term of another Councilman who resigned unexpectedly.
Fanelli talks with host Chris Gollon about key issues both in the school district and on the Council, as well as the unique adjustment process in learning two different sides of local government.
