The School Board has called a special meeting for July 9th, at 10:00 A.M. The meeting will be held in the Board Room of the A.H. Henriquez Administration Building in Key West.

Mike Henriquez, Acting Superintendent of Schools, has announced that school grades have been posted by the Department of Education. Monroe County School District is an A District for the fourth year in a row. School Grades announced: 10 A's, 2 B's and 1 C.

Monroe County School Board Chairperson Andy Griffiths has sent a message to District Personnel stating that in Randy Acevedo's absence, after being suspended as Superintendent, Associate Superintendent Mike Henriquez is now Acting Superintendent, until such time as Governor Crist makes an interim appointment. The process could be complete within a few days, but it could take longer. No action is likely over the weekend. "While this is a difficult situation for all involved, I have confidence that Governor Crist will take prudent and decisive action. We will be posting more information as it becomes available, " stated Mr. Griffiths.

Children are out of school and ready for an exciting summer! Monroe County agencies, community leaders and businesses are providing summer camps and programs that will provide your child with activities, fun and educational experiences. Summer school and recreation information, as well as bus schedules have been posted.
