ABOUT THE FOUNDATION FOR LEE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS: Since 1986 the mission of the Foundation has been to enhance the quality of public education in Lee County by increasing community involvement in, and support for, Lee County Public Schools. Twenty-five years ago a diverse group of local business and community leaders created the Foundation. These concerned individuals realized that the cornerstone of an economically strong community was a quality public education system.

The purpose of every initiative of The Foundation for Lee County Public Schools is to enhance and enrich the quality of public education in Lee County for students and educators through programs, resources, individual and educational partnerships. In-school programs are expanded with additional resources -such as new titles being added to the Jim and Ellie Newton Children’s Literature Center. Students are given unique learning opportunities through programs such as Classroom Grants and the A-Team Challenge. Teachers themselves are recognized and encouraged in their dedicated efforts, as in the Golden Apple Teacher Recognition Program™ and Collegium for the Advancement of Education.
