Welcome to Manatee County

Your new community has much to offer its residents. In addition to its natural, pristine beauty, well-planned and beautifully designed residential areas, and a highly competitive business arena, Manatee County also maintains a rich tradition of outstanding academic and extracurricular programs within the school district. If you and your family reflect the pattern of many newcomers to the county, you have already considered the quality of our offerings, and it played a significant role in your decision to relocate here.

The school district employs over 6,500 instructional and support personnel and over 43,000 students attend classes daily. From pre-kindergarten through adult technical education, the district reaches out to meet the needs of all segments of the community. In addition to quality education, we take pride in providing a nurturing environment to all students.

A policy of open communication affords you direct access to school personnel and district representatives whenever questions or concerns arise. Please take advantage of it. We look forward to you joining our coalition of dedicated parents, community members, business partners and educators in providing the optimal educational experiences for our children. We welcome you and your family into our community.

Sincerely,
Dr. Roger Dearing
Superintendent of Schools
