The goal of Media Services is to provide instructional materials and resources, as well as technical services and support, for Lee County School District and the community through safe and well-managed processes.

Materials and services are selected and designed to provide curriculum support for the instructional program throughout the school district. To facilitate this process, support services are designed to be convenient and easy for teachers to use.  In addition to the direct support provided to teachers, Media Services also provides indirect support by assisting school media specialists and school media programs in serving the needs of students and teachers.
