UPDATE: Interim Lee County superintendent of schools given permanent job

Interim Lee County Superintendent of Schools Brian Dean was given the permanent job following a vote by the system’s school board.

Dean recently served as the division’s assistant superintendent and has spent all 23 years of his education career in Lee County including serving as the school system’s director of finance, testing, and instruction.

Dean has been serving in the interim role following the decision of the board in January to not renew the contract of former superintendent Brian Austin.
