Over the last week many individuals, groups, and organizations have stepped up to make this year’s celebrations for the Class of 2020 extra special, especially during these unprecedented times. One of the behind the scenes organizations that have gone above and beyond for our students once again is the Citrus County Education Foundation under the exceptional leadership of their Executive Director Shaunda Burdette. Mrs. Burdette and her outstanding team which includes the Foundation’s Associate Director Susan Frampton, the committed CCEF Board of Directors, and the Friends of the Foundation. Every year CCEF supports our graduates, but this year with the impacts of COVID-19 so impacting our graduates’ and family’s lives, CCEF went above and beyond providing extra support and resources to ensure our graduates and their families were honored and felt loved by our local education community.
We are so grateful to Mrs. Burdette and our Citrus County Education Foundation!

I want to thank our many businesses that employed our students before the COVID-19 crisis and thank those that have employed our students during this pandemic. Oftentimes these students have been on the frontlines, providing many essential services and have provided businesses with a much- needed workforce.
Remote/virtual learning has often given students and their employers’ additional opportunities to work times during what would have been the students’ school day.
Businesses, supervisors, managers, please encourage your student employees to promptly do their schoolwork to ensure they finish this semester successfully. This is especially important for our Class of 2020 seniors. Teachers and schools are being flexible with students, but students are still in school and responsible for completing their work. As their employers, you can serve as bonus mentors, educational supporters, and encouragers in these students’ lives.
We are so proud of our students and the hard work they are doing both at these businesses and especially in their studies.
Thank you, businesses, supervisors, and managers for all you are doing for our students, schools, and community. As the African proverb goes, “It takes a village”, and in Citrus County we have the BEST village!
