Good evening LCSD, By now most of you are aware that Gov. Hutchinson has lifted the face mask mandate as of today, 3/31/2021. The Governor has allowed local public schools to make their own local decisions whether to require wearing face masks. In the best interest and the safety of our students, staff, and community partners, the mask mandate that is currently in place in the district's Ready For Learning plan will remain in place and will be strictly enforced through the reminder of the school year in all of our facilities and school events. We will continue to adhere to CDC recommendations, so that our schools can remain open and limit the spread of COVID-19. Thanks for your continued understanding and support. Have a great evening, Supt. Murdock

Lee County School District is asking its staff to weigh in on whether and how mask mandates should be implemented to stem the spread of COVID-19. Please complete the following survey and share it with those without internet access. The survey can also be located on the school website in the Live Feed section. https://forms.gle/QM6SdKZv2SvUNBd36
