On Friday, Gov. Rick Scott announced 40 schools in Lee County will be getting $3.5 million due to high-performing bonuses.

Our students and teachers in Lee County deserve to be rewarded for their hard work, and I am pleased to recognize them for their achievements with this $3.5 million investment, Scott said. One of my top priorities as governor is to create jobs and opportunities for Florida families. We know that a good job starts with a great education, and Florida continues to be a leader in education. I look forward to continued gains.

Schools showing improvement or holding A grades over the last year qualified for the bonuses.
