A complete answer for this decision
Santa Rosa County is one of two service areas in Guiding Wave's current first-party campaign. Official school directories provide local context, but Guiding Wave is not affiliated with or endorsed by the district, any school, or any counselor.
Local context from official directories
Official Santa Rosa County District Schools and Florida Department of Education directories list middle-school campuses across communities including Gulf Breeze, Milton, Navarre, and Pace. The citations establish geography, not a Guiding Wave relationship.
How intended participation is protected
The current selection policy calls for a school-counselor recommendation, a needs-based eligibility assessment, and private handling of student and family details. No completed referral or placement is claimed.
How support is budgeted
A full campaign sponsorship is $2,000: $1,500 for tuition plus $500 for transportation and essentials. Donors and groups may give another amount toward those student costs.
