Citrus joins a conversation on the benefits of Florida College Access Network

Today Citrus Schools helped present with the Florida College Access Network (FCAN) on a webinar for school board members across the state for the Florida School Board Association.

For the majority of our students, FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is essential for high school seniors to fill out in order to receive both merit and income scholarships and grants for post-secondary education in college or career/vocational centers. Citrus County Schools has worked with Citrus County Coalition for College & Careers to help students have opportunities and pathways to paid for post-secondary education in college or career.

FCAN through a grant from the Florida Department of Education provides school districts with free tools and data analysis to help districts better know what students have or have not filled out FASFA applications, and how to help complete them.

Citrus Schools FASFA coordinator Darrick Buettner and I help FCAN Assistant Director Kathy McDonald share about FCAN and why the majority of our graduating students can benefit from completing a FASFA application.

Thank you, Ms. McDonald, Mr. Buettner, and FSBA for providing this learning opportunity.
