Lee County Schools would like to recognize Wendell Brandenburg for going above and beyond. Mr. Brandenburg has helped our transportation department, students and staff for decades. He shows up to work daily and helps with whatever is needed. After school, there is no telling how many miles that he has traveled with various clubs, extra-curricular groups and athletic teams over the years. If you were involved with any group after school, there is a good chance Wendell was your driver a time or ten. Please help us tell Mr. Brandenburg know how much we appreciate him.

Lee County Schools would like to recognize Candice Jewell for going above and beyond. Mrs. Jewell helps coordinate and lends a hand with lots of our daily events at Lee County Elementary.

The next time you see Mrs. Jewell, let her know how much she is appreciated.

Lee County Schools would like to recognize Chuck Caudill for going above and beyond. Mr. Caudill has always helped with clubs, auctions and anything that was needed for many years.

In a way to be transparent, Lee County Schools wants to send out information and communicate with parents, staff and community. The safety of our students, staff and community is and will continue to be our #1 priority. Lee County Schools does not have an infestation of bed bugs. Our first sighting was in materials coming into our school around 2 weeks ago. We have had all areas at both schools professionally cleaned by Bluegrass Pest Control. After the initial sighting, we have seen less than 10 bed bugs, all in isolated locations in the district. Those isolated areas have then been treated by either professional services, our maintenance staff or both. Our schools are safe and we will continue to address issues as they arise. We also understand that we could clean diligently for days, weeks or months but bed bugs can migrate to schools once we start back. Since bed bugs are a migrating insect, we will continue to monitor, clean and stay proactive. Lee County Schools mitigation strategies: -Calls and letters have been sent to keep all stakeholders informed -Buildings have been professionally sprayed by Bluegrass Pest control -Our maintenance department has been sprayed and fogged all rooms at LCMHS and continue to fog as needed -Buses have been sprayed and buses will be fogged as needed -Information has been added regarding bed bugs on district website in order to support prevention -Students are not bringing in personal items into the building, such as backpacks -We will be providing clear vinyl backpacks to all students -Staff have been asked to declutter rooms -Home visits have been made to support families -In cases of recurrence we have contacted and enlisted appropriate social agencies -We have been in contact with the local health department for information, education and strategies for prevention and extinction -Contacted other school systems and agencies regarding their processes -Purchased special heaters for chrome books, books, clothes, etc. to help prevent anything from being brought into the schools -Limited objects and materials going home and returning
