Lily and Isabella selected as ambassadors for Henry County youth summit in Orlando

During a recent meeting of the Hendry County School District, two local students, Lily and Isabella, were celebrated for their selection as ambassadors for the upcoming youth summit in Orlando. This event, part of the Special Olympics initiative, will allow the young athletes to engage with peers from across the state, focusing on leadership, inclusion, and empowerment for individuals with disabilities. Their participation highlights the district's commitment to fostering a supportive environment for all students.

In addition to this uplifting announcement, the meeting included a brief update from Mister Clay regarding the Florida School Accountability Testing (FSAT). He reported that there were no findings to share this quarter, as FSAT had not conducted any inspections during this period. This lack of updates reflects the district's ongoing compliance with state regulations, as FSAT typically visits only a few schools each year.

The recognition of Lily and Isabella, alongside the FSAT update, underscores the district's dual focus on student achievement and regulatory accountability. As the community looks forward to the youth summit, the district continues to prioritize inclusive opportunities for its students while maintaining transparency in its operations.
