PDF Version“There is nothing more foundational to a child’s success than a great education and there is nothing more important to parents across Pasco County than ensuring that each and every child has access to a world-class, quality education,” said Dr. Legg
Current Pasco County Superintendent of Schools Kurt Browning recently announced that he will not seek a third term. Browning said “I believe we are nearing the point where we will accomplish many of the goals I set out when I was first elected.” Legg praised Browning’s record as Superintendent, “Over the past decade, Superintendent Browning has worked tirelessly to elevate our public schools and create a culture of excellence and begin to provide educational choices across our school system,” he said.
“Now, I want to build on the foundation he and the dedicated teachers and staff have laid and take Pasco County Schools to the next level — where we meet and exceed the expectations of parents and do right by our children by equipping them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.”
Legg served as Chair of the Senate K-12 Committee from 2012 to 2016 and the House K-12 Education Committee from 2008 to 2010. He holds a Doctorate in Program Development in Education, as well as a Master of Public Administration from the University of South Florida.
He’s also a former school administrator and classroom teacher. He’s a lifelong Pasco County resident, where he and wife, Suzanne, raised five children. He is also the Co-Founder and CFO of Dayspring Academy For Education and the Arts in Pasco County.
“As an educator for the past 22 years, I have focused on making sure each and every child has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and achieve,” Legg said. “I want to take all that I have learned over my decades as a professional educator and put it to work for the families and students of Pasco County. There is no challenge too big or opportunity too small when it comes to our children, but the time to act is now. I am looking forward to working with Pasco’s families, educators and entire community in serving to make sure every child has a high-quality education.”
