Superintendent's Message
Bill Delbrugge | 6/26/2009
Dear Flagler County Public Schools Families,
WOW! What an amazing year we have had. The 2009 graduates of Flagler Palm Coast High School, Matanzas High School and the Flagler Technical Center are going to be students we will need to be watching for years to come. They have proven that they can make a difference in the world for all of us and we expect great things from them. The Class of 2009 earned $396,000 in local scholarships and over $2 million in state and federal scholarships. Our students have brought excitement to our schools and the community. We are sad they are leaving and they will be greatly missed, but the Class of 2010 is already starting strong. We expect great achievements from them also.
This year I have seen our community and staff come together as a team like no year before. I believe the district support shown to our legislators was the only reason our budget was not severely cut for next school year. I give you all a heart-felt thank you for stepping up to the plate and helping our school system in our time of need. We all need to continue to show our state leaders that education is too important to our future to slash education budgets. I encourage you all to stay involved and let your voices be heard.
Finally, I want to say a huge “Thank You” to our staff for making this school year one of which we can all be proud. Raising student achievement is our mission and once again the staff has not let us down with this goal. Our students have shown growth with standardized testing this year and we have seen improvement in both academic areas and attendance rates. We appreciate the hard work and commitment our staff has given to our students and the ways they help all of our students find success.
