“My interest in becoming Superintendent of Lee County Schools stems from my love of our children and our community! Our Lee County community is one of the most valuable parts of all our lives. It is where we live, work, play, worship, sing, dance, fellowship, and where we raise our children! As we raise our children, EDUCATION is one of the most important training tools needed by parents and guardians to instill in the lives of our children. An education is the glue that mends their wonderful brains to all the various resources, information and school subjects they must learn in order to achieve.“ Victor Arias, Esq.
