Superintendent's Office

December 30, 2024

Dear Fitzgerald Public Schools families,

On Friday, Dec. 27, the school board voted to appoint Laurie Fournier to the role of Interim Superintendent effective immediately while our internal review continues.

As you may know, Laurie served nearly 30 years in Fitzgerald Public Schools as a teacher, school principal and eventually superintendent. She also served as Curriculum Director in our district and has a proven track record of success. We are confident Laurie can hit the ground running and maintain our commitment to excellence and our focus on providing a world-class education.

We sincerely hope you are enjoying a restful and safe holiday season and look forward to seeing our amazing students, staff and families in 2025.

Happy New Year to our entire Fitzgerald Public Schools community.

Sincerely,

Julia Yokel, President
Fitzgerald Public Schools Board of Education

Parent Identification

Fitzgerald Public Schools is committed to the safety and security of our students. We continuously review our protocols and procedures and make adjustments in order to provide our students with a safe educational environment to learn and grow.

The district requires any adult that is picking up a student before dismissal to present photo identification upon arrival. In addition, students will only be released to the contacts that have been identified in our student database system, which is called PowerSchool. It is important that you relay this information to the emergency contacts you have provided to your child’s school. If you would like to update your child’s contacts, please contact the building secretary where your child attends.

We appreciate your continued support and cooperation. The safety and security of our students is a top priority.
