Johnson said the foundation raised $42,000 in sponsorships — exceeding a $36,000 goal — and that Lisa Bryant of Lake Minneola High School was named the Lake County Teacher of the Year and will be submitted for state-level consideration. The foundation plans to hold its Night of Stars recognition event on March 4 and will also celebrate school-related employees and induct new alumni into the district’s Hall of Fame.

Johnson reported a grant from the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations to support expansion of allied-health and nursing career and technical education (CTE) programs at Southlake and Leesburg high schools. She said the grant totals $101,250 over three years.

Other Foundation activities noted by Johnson included a rescheduled New Worlds reading event now set for March 25 at Triangle Elementary, a Ladies for Education event planned for April 25, and a sold-out sporting-clays fundraiser on March 7 (35 teams) at Blackjack Sporting Clays in Sumterville. The Foundation’s Apple Mart store in Leesburg recorded 608 visits this year, delivering what Johnson described as $94,402 worth of school supplies to teachers.

Johnson also said the Take Stock in Children scholarship program received 65 student applications this cycle, a 14% increase from the prior period; staff are vetting applications and preparing for interviews.

Johnson closed by inviting board members to the foundation’s upcoming events and directing them to posted registration information on the Foundation’s social media channels.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lake County School Board Meeting February 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Dr. Elizabeth Johnson of the Education Foundation told the Lake County School Board on Feb. 24 that the foundation secured $42,000 in sponsorships, will submit Lisa Bryant for state Teacher of the Year consideration, and received a grant to expand allied-health and nursing CTE programs.","taxTitle","Lake, School Districts, Florida","taxId",14671,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6292243,"Lake County School Board gives final approval to three student-discipline policies",40,295000,335000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2527319-0cd770b679b85b2e36832c6fbada6262&start=295&end=335","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2527319-0cd770b679b85b2e36832c6fbada6262/thumbnail_295000.jpg","/articles/6292243/Florida/Lake-County-School-Board-gives-final-approval-to-three-student-discipline-policies","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6292243-7c855701574b94f7e90e4fe45de12e7e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185390&Signature=eQOPV7q2T3I~XEKu6IZZVFGaDVMr37FwNY-KBeF2GBFvrrSvxzFZtfBcY7K1Wk9Pis765EO8JegPPZW0ckmhsE0Q6DvYlIKkI78w2PEqfpTmB1kqqB1mSUCh-mTOm2EiGmH2oxlAtDJ5hWCR7bYz8es9~wopJ9sqPle9xZauD~4Ld1Jyc3qAFKt6V89XnizF1K4t3M76evcBFeb4G0HhG-9cmtVHhLeCiv8aKjT7jJSRMHYufU9~yK4b90NpPDn9EObL3VUI11kq9G~ke6aaH5E~mKnAEJXzcHSBaEvx66edmOhxqJfsHG2HXSC~KzKM2T8cJFaKI~YnsSUAuT7KFw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lake County School Board voted 5-0 on Feb. 24 to give final approval to three district policies covering removal, suspension, alternative disciplinary placement and expulsion; due process rights; and search and seizure.

The policies — listed on the agenda as 05/2010 (Removal, suspensions, alternative disciplinary placement and expulsion of students), 5611 (Due process rights) and 5,771 (Search and seizure) — were presented during a public hearing that produced no public comment. Attorney Mr. Cole opened and closed the hearing and the superintendent recommended final approval before the board voted.

The board clerk recorded a motion to adopt the policies after the superintendent’s recommendation. Mr. Mathias moved the motion and Mrs. Cunningham seconded it. The vote passed 5-0.

Board members had no additional public debate recorded during the item; the public hearing was opened and closed without speakers. The superintendent told the board she recommended “final approval of the policies as presented.”

The approvals came after the board approved the meeting minutes and the consent agenda earlier in the session; both also passed on unanimous 5-0 voice votes.
