The Escambia County School District (ECSD) is the organization responsible for the administration of public schools in Escambia County, Florida, in the United States.

Board
The members of the school board are:
District 1 - Jeff Bergosh
District 2 - Gerald Boone
District 3 - Linda Moultrie (Vice Chair)
District 4 - Patty Hightower
District 5 - Bill Slayton (Chair)
These members are elected in their respective districts for a four-year term. The District 4 and 5 representatives, along with the superintendent, are elected in Presidential election years. District 1, 2, and 3 members are elected in non-Presidential election years. Although elected by districts, each member is charged by statute with representing the entire district.
Because the school board elections are non-partisan, these races are frequently decided in the primary. If a candidate gets a majority of the vote in the primary, he or she wins, and the race is not on the general election ballot in November. If no candidate has a majority of the vote, the top two are in a run off on the November ballot. The position of superintendent is a partisan election.
