Share Your Story
A safe, anonymous place for teachers, staff, and parents in the School District of Lee County to share what they are seeing.
Real accounts from educators and former educators in Southwest Florida. Some are shared with us directly, some arrive through the anonymous form below. Some are lightly condensed. These are personal experiences, told in the storyteller's own words.
A story is never an endorsement, and views are the storyteller's own. Have a story? Use the form below. It asks for no name and stores no IP address, and anything published from it is published anonymously, with identifying details removed. There is one optional box for a way to reach you. Filling it in is what lets us check an account and raise it with the district as a specific case; leaving it blank still counts it in what we report. It is never published, never shown beside a story, and never handed to the district.
