Summary

Deltona Elementary principal Sandra Geraldo told the Hernando County School Board the school serves roughly 750 students and credited a Hernando County Educational Foundation library makeover and expanded extracurriculars with improved student engagement and a 30‑point proficiency gain on recent measures.

Sandra Geraldo, principal of Deltona Elementary School, presented a school spotlight to the Hernando County School Board on Tuesday, saying the campus serves “approximately 750 students from VPK through 5th grade” and highlighting efforts to strengthen literacy, math and science instruction. Geraldo credited the Hernando County Educational Foundation and the school librarian, Miss Price, for a library makeover that she said has made the media center “more inviting” and helped students build a love of reading.

Geraldo and assistant principal Trina Crawford described expanded student opportunities, including robotics, safety patrol, run club and art club. Geraldo said the school’s theme this year—“ignite our learning, strengthen our fire, dragon soar as 1”—reflects a focus on supporting and challenging students. The presentation noted the district and community partnerships that funded the library work and extracurricular programming.
