Board Member Message

As our families begin their much-needed summer break, District staff is busy planning for the reopening of our schools in fall of 20-21.

Due to the closing of schools and businesses in response to slowing the spread of COVID 19, we have been faced with the challenge of identifying ways to continue our service delivery.

Despite the great challenges of these past few weeks, I am full of gratitude for the outstanding work and dedication by the School District of Lee County learning community.

In mid-March households across the nation will receive postcards from the US Census Bureau on how to complete the 2020 Census survey. This head count of every individual in the United States is mandated by the Constitution and has been conducted every ten years since 1790.

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.
