The course is offered four times a year, so if you miss this one, do not worry, there will be more opportunities! Did you know that teen drivers face a three times higher risk of fatal crashes compared to other drivers? Sheriff Bill Leeper and the Nassau County Sheriff's Office are dedicated to safeguarding our young drivers and actively working to reduce traffic crash injuries and fatalities. That is why we have teamed up with the Florida Sheriff’s Association to present the Teen Driver Challenge. This free program aims to enhance teens' driving abilities and lower the likelihood of accidents through a blend of classroom learning and practical driving exercises. Teens aged 15-19 with a valid Florida Operators License or Learner's License, along with at least six months of on-the-road driving experience, are eligible to participate. Participants must bring their own vehicle and provide current copies of their driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance. Each class is limited to 12 students. Students must be Nassau County residents. Lunch will be provided at no cost to you. Sheriff Bill Leeper emphasizes, "We're here to guide young drivers in mastering both crisis situations and everyday traffic. Awareness is key—defensive driving not only involves being mindful of your actions but also of fellow motorists." The Teen Driver Challenge is primarily a defensive driving program covering various topics and exercises including:
Sheriff Leeper expresses his enthusiasm by saying, "I'm proud to collaborate with the Florida Sheriff’s Association on this invaluable program and encourage your teen to enroll in this life-saving course." The Teen Driver Challenge takes place at the Northeast Florida Fairgrounds in Callahan, located at 543378 US-1, Callahan, FL 32011.

The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) strives to provide a transparent budget process. In the coming weeks, the BOCC will begin working on the budget for Fiscal Year 25/26.
