Dr. Leslie Ricciardelli, Superintendent of Collier County Public Schools will update us. She leads our A-rated district, which serves 48,000 students and employs close to 7,000 staff members across 60 school and support sites in Collier County. As superintendent, Dr. Ricciardelli is focused on academic excellence, fiscal responsibility, student conduct, and building strong connections with families and community partners. She was recently named one of our nation’s 25 Superintendents to Watch by the National School Public Relations Association. She’s also been recognized as one of the region’s most effective communicators and leaders. Dr. Ricciardelli grew up right here in Naples and attended our local public schools. She’s spent 30 years in education, most of it serving our community.
