Episode Details

Lake County schools are searching for a new superintendent as Diane Kornegay, who’s led the district for nearly a decade, prepares to retire at the end of the 2026-2027 school year. The board aims to fill the role by late October, prioritizing candidates with at least five years of senior leadership experience specifically in Florida’s education system. With Kornegay’s tenure marked by major changes, the district is seeking continuity and deep local knowledge. Meanwhile, plans are advancing for two new schools, including a high school on Wellness Way — still in early stages but projected to open in 5-7 years, pending critical road construction to ease traffic. The district is balancing leadership transition with long-term growth.
