.25 mills Rate Referendum Passes

Thank you Citrus County voters for voting to maintain the millage rate for capital improvement for our schools.  Voters choose by over 65% to continue to improve our schools.  The voters get an “A+” in my book!

The Chronicle Reports

“The referendum to continue for two years the .25 mills collected by the Citrus County School District for capital outlay needs passed in Tuesday’s election.

This is not a tax increase; rather the Legislature requires the school district to seek voter approval to continue collecting the tax for capital  outlay.”

PLEASE VOTE TODAY!

I ask that if you have not already voted, that you please get out and vote today!

Congratulations Lecanto High School Swim Team

Baynews9: CRMS students learn about the environment — from high schoolers

By Ferdinand Zogbaum, Reporter

CRYSTAL RIVER — A program in Citrus County is getting middle school students out on the water to learn how to protect the environment, but there’s a catch – other students are doing the teaching.

Elisabeth Veal is a junior at the Academy of Environmental Science in Citrus County, but when she’s out on the water, she’s the teacher.

Veal and some of her fellow high schoolers are teaching a group of middle schoolers about the human impact on water quality.

“It’s good that we get the chance to tell them what they are doing so they can help make a difference,” said Veal.

The students use scientific equipment to do their research, like the Turbidimeter and Nansen Bottle. They also take part in a few different workshops that take place out in the field and in the classroom.
