Board Member Message

Welcome back and Happy New Year! Many of us have made new year’s resolutions that can help improve our own lives and the lives of others. Why not make mentoring a student one of those resolutions?

As we begin our second full month of school, October is National Bullying Prevention month. Safety is a primary focus of our District. If students do not feel safe, they do not learn.

School Board members make a commitment to set policy, oversee operations and to make system changes to meet evolving needs. As a member of the Lee County School Board, and as an experienced educator, I am encouraged by the progress that we have made during the past two years.

On April 1, 2020, the United States Census Bureau will conduct the nation’s 24th decennial census with the goal of counting every person living in the U.S.

I have not had an opportunity to thank Lee County voters for passing the half penny sales tax and more importantly, supporting our students. The revenue will go a long way toward providing appropriate learning environments for our children.

What School District of Lee County curricular program, dedicated to making young people be better citizens, enrolls 27%, or 7,257 of our high school students?

It is hard to believe we are already in the second month of 2019. February is a month filled with celebrations and awareness of important issues.

This week is National School Choice Week and The School District of Lee County (SDLC) is proud to be a ‘school choice’ school district. With 24 charter schools, we are the second largest charter district in Florida.

2018 was a year of change, challenge, learning and accomplishments for The School District of Lee County. As we begin 2019, we celebrate our accomplishments and look forward to new opportunities
