While students and teachers enjoy a well-deserved summer break, another group of dedicated professionals is hard at work across Citrus County Schools. Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for the Facilities, Construction and Maintenance departments, led by Director Eric Stokes and his outstanding team.
The summer of 2026 has proven to be another productive season as Mr. Stokes, his teams and the outside contractors they oversee continue to complete critical facility improvements throughout the district. Major facility improvements include re-roofing efforts at both Homosassa Elementary School and the Withlacoochee Technical College campus. Roof replacement projects are essential investments that protect facilities, preserve taxpayer resources and help ensure classrooms remain safe and operational for years to come.
Florida’s weather can be unpredictable, and these projects help mitigate potential damage from storms. The Citrus County Schools’ Facilities, Construction and Maintenance departments work diligently to ensure that students and staff have safe, comfortable and efficient learning environments.
In addition to the re-roofing efforts, other projects are underway, including work at Crystal River High School’s Veterinary Assisting Pathway within the Academy of Health Careers. Students like Viktoriia Koval and Madilynn Broadbent are being cared for by the program.
