Voters within the Lee County School District overwhelmingly approved a $15 million bond issue in 2020. A majority of the funds were used to construct a new career and technical education center for LCSD students. The 33,000-square-foot complex is located at the Community Development Foundation’s newest industrial park called the HIVE. Students started attending classes there in late 2021.
Lee County School District voters approved an $8 million bond issue in 2022 to fund a variety of construction projects throughout the district. Most of the money is going toward new extracurricular facilities and the renovation of existing facilities on campuses across the district.
