Citrus County Schools

Being a School Guardian is more than just a job – it’s a meaningful and rewarding career dedicated to protecting what matters most: our students, staff and school communities. Every day, our Guardians serve as a visible, trusted presence on campus, building positive relationships while ensuring safety remains the top priority.

Our School Guardian Program is highly regarded by both staff and families because it helps provide both a secure and supportive learning environment for our students.  Through strong connections with students and consistent campus visibility, our Guardians play a critical role in physical security measures across every school.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support you professionally and personally, including health insurance, retirement plans, experience-based pay, paid time off, uniforms, and ongoing professional development.

Joining our team means stepping into a career where you can truly make a difference- while enjoying stability, growth and purpose.

The Citrus County School District proudly partners with the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office each spring to host a 144-hour Guardian Certification Training. Selected applicants are hired on a temporary basis to complete this training.  Upon successful completion and certification, candidates are eligible for hire as full-time openings become available.
