From: Sarasota County Schools

Sarasota County, FL, March 3, 2023 – Sarasota County Schools is proud to announce that Jenn Greenan has been selected as the district’s overall 2023 School-Related Employee of the Year. Mrs. Greenan serves as the Administrative Assistant to the Principal of Brentwood Elementary School.

Mrs. Greenan has worked at Brentwood Elementary for 7 years. In this time, she has made a tangible and lasting positive impact on her school community through her kindness, genuine compassion for others, and ability to remain calm under pressure. The nature of Mrs. Greenan’s role – even prior to her additional duties as the school’s contact tracer during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic – has allowed her to build deep relationships with students and their families. Witnessing their struggles and needs firsthand prompted Mrs. Greenan to give back to the school above and beyond her primary job duties, particularly by serving as a student mentor during her spare time at lunch. Described by her peers as “exceptional” and the “embodiment” of the school district’s vision statement [Working as one for the success of all], Mrs. Greenan puts her whole heart and effort in all that she does for the Brentwood Elementary community.

As the award recipient for Sarasota County, Mrs. Greenan is now eligible for the overall state-level recognition. Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Jenn Greenan, and all of our 2023 School-Related Employees of the Year:

The Florida Department of Education’s School-Related Employee of the Year program annually recognizes outstanding education support personnel for the significant contributions they make to their schools and district school systems. The program honors one state representative and four finalists from the 67 school districts in Florida. All non-certified, non-instructional educational support personnel who serve at the school or district level — such as teacher aides, library aides, bookkeepers, bus drivers, food service staff and custodians, among others — may be nominated.

Sarasota County Schools’ School-Related Employee of the Year program is made possible through the funding and support of many generous sponsors. These schools & organizations are committed to the belief that rewarding and encouraging excellence in service is vital to a strong and successful public educational system. We appreciate their continued commitment to our school communities! Please join us in thanking the following sponsors:
