Citrus County Schools

Our goal is to provide the District and our citizens with a realistic vision of future trends in the community and to help guide day-to-day decisions and operations. We also provide the coordination of the district's capital planning related to concurrency requirements, student enrollment, population changes, program needs, new construction and facility renovation.

The Planning and Growth Management Department oversees the process for updating and revising School Board Policy and serves as the point of contact for capital project planning and intergovernmental coordination.
