Superintendent's Message
Welcome to the Charlotte County Public Schools website and the 2010-11 school year. Our vision of "Student Success" remains clear and strong even as financial uncertainties grip our school system, state and nation. For example, our FCAT scores from this past year show good growth in many areas -some areas remain challenges for us- but we have made gains where gains were needed. Additionally, our high school advanced placement scores were outstanding again this year and undoubtedly will place us among the top districts in the state again.
I am proud of the things accomplished by our students this past year and the fine work done by our educators, support, and leadership staff. Through the tough times our students have achieved and our staff has performed and I expect no less for the coming year. Look for accomplishments in academic, arts, music, technology, and many other areas to continue to shine as we focus intently on the talents and abilities of our kids.
I would be remiss not to mention that all of our hurricane rebuilt schools are fully completed as of this August and invite you to visit one or more of them if you have not done so. Charlotte High School is our final rebuild and it is second to none in its structural integrity and outstanding learning environments.
I will end 35 years of service to the students of Florida in the next few months and I'm pleased and honored to have spent one-third of my career here in Charlotte County and to finish that career working among the finest educators I've ever known.
May this year provide hope and stability to our community and our nation and may God bless each of you,
Dave Gayler
