Sarasota Schools

Sarasota is very much "at the head of the class". Expansion Management magazines Annual Education Issue named the public school system in Sarasota County as the

"Best public school system in Florida"

Time magazine and Money magazine both named Sarasota's New College as the 2nd Best College Bargain in the U.S. New College is a very exciting approach to higher education. Sarasota Florida offers a complete lifestyle for young and old alike. Governor Jeb Bush, during his years in office, has made education a priority. Unfortunately, the Mr. Bush is term-limited and not available to run again. He retired in 2007. One can only hope the next administration will work as hard for the education agenda.
