Citrus County School’s Food and Nutrition Services will participate in the Summer Food Service Program during the months of June and July.
Nutritionally balanced meals will be provided free to all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability during summer vacation when school breakfasts and lunches are not available. All children 18 years old and younger are eligible for meals at no charge at an open site, and there will be no discrimination in the course of the meal service. The programs are only approved for geographical areas of need where 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced-price meals during the school year.
There will be four open sites throughout the county: Lecanto Middle, Inverness Primary and Crystal River Middle School, which will be open Monday through Friday from June 1 through July 24. Hernando Elementary is also an open site. It will be open
Monday through Thursday and will run from June 1 through July 23. Breakfast will be from 8 to 8:30 a.m. and lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to noon. All meals must be consumed on-site.
The goal is to make sure no child goes hungry. The schedule is available on the Food and Nutrition Services website at www.cafe.citrus.k12.fl.us. The menus will be available to view on https://Citrus.Nutrislice.com. For more information, call Lora Fredrikson at 352-726-1931, ext. 2451.

On Tuesday, May 12th, 2015 the Citrus County School Board unanimously approved a letter to be sent to Florida Governor Rick Scott to suspend testing consequences.
I want to thank my fellow Board Members for their approval of this letter and for their continual support of doing what is best for our students and educators.
I further want to the Director of Department of Research and Accountability, Patrick Simon and his coordinator, Amy Crowell; Program Specialist Karen Jordan; our attorney Wes Bradshaw; and our former Board colleague Pat Deutschman who greatly contributed to this letter.
Thank you to the Chronicle and Tampa Bay Times for sharing stories about our letter to Gov. Scott.
Once again Citrus educator Christina Hackey and her students “blast off” their model rockets for the ‘Rocketman Competition‘ sponsored by The Christa McAuliffe Educational Outreach Program. This event is a join effort through funding provided by the Citrus County Education Foundation and the Citrus Springs Elementary Parent Teacher Organization.
This is another of those great actives that I am honored to participate in, and again this year I had the chance to judge the final round of rocket launches. Ms. Hackey does a super job providing this STEM opportunity for our students. I am already looking forward to next year.
