School district to install more walkway covers
By MEGHAN BRADBURY - | Apr 21, 2021
A half dozen additional schools will receive walkway covers leading from portable classrooms to the main buildings.
The Lee County School Board renewed a contract to continue installations, at a cost of $500,000, last Tuesday.
Construction Director Scott Reichenbacher said remaining schools include Harns Marsh Middle School, Gateway Elementary School, North Fort Myers Academy for the Arts, Tice Elementary School, Treeline Elementary School, Villas Elementary School and the Pace Center.
He said the district has been installing the walkway covers since the half cent sales tax was approved by Lee County voters in 2018.
There was so much to Doherty, who died Sunday at 96, that went into that force.
She was a dancer on Broadway in her past, friends with many famous people, a mentor to many area women such as former state Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto, she was a funder of scholarships to those who were trying to beat addiction and she served as solid support for many others. I was with her when she passed, Benacquisto said. From a professional standpoint, she ran The Cloisters (a Pine Island addiction center) for some time. Through that she touched so many lives . not just the folks who needed treatment themselves and who successfully completed treatment and went on to beat addiction, she helped families heal and grow through the treatment of addiction.
