Board Member Message

As the holiday season approaches and we near the end of another semester, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the accomplishments and challenges we have faced together as a community.

I have just completed my first year as a school board member and collectively one year together for this school board. Now, I present to you a recap of the year and a look ahead to the future.

The School District of Lee County leadership and staff are committed to creating a world-class school system that ensures every child reaches his or her highest personal potential.

Our teachers, administrators and staff have proven yet again why Lee County students are so lucky! We have seen some amazing trends to start the new school year.

Our students and staff persevered despite the struggles that resulted from Hurricane Ian. Nearly 10 months later, recovery continues.

As we mark eight months since Hurricane Ian hit our community, some areas still look like they did the day after the storm. Many members of our community remain in recovery mode, and that includes our staff and families.

As the 2022-2023 school year in Lee County comes to an end, great things have been accomplished by our newest kindergarten students to our graduating seniors.

The school year is coming to an end. Proms, plays, concerts, and award ceremonies are all in full swing, reminding us that summer break is just around the corner.

Governing bodies are often measured by their governance during the first 100 days out of the gate. It sets the tone and direction of what can and will be accomplished.

Student School Assignment is changing for the 2023-24 school year--a very important message especially for parents/guardians of elementary school students.

Happy New Year to all of our students, families, educators, and community. As we embark on a new year, we continue to celebrate successes, but also face some challenges ahead.
