As alumni and Dunbar community members filed into the Franklin Park Elementary School cafeteria Tuesday evening, pictures drawn by current third-, fourth- and fifth-graders lined the walls.
The pictures represented the students’ visions for what they wanted their school to look like once one of Lee County’s most historic schools is rebuilt toward the end of next year and finished in 2024.
Getting input from students and teachers was just step one as Franklin Park is on track to become the county’s first community partnership school.

FutureMakers Coalition isn’t an organization, it is a network working to transform Southwest Florida’s workforce. Right now, Southwest Florida doesn’t have the skilled workers needed to fill in-demand jobs. Too many workers are unemployed, or working multiple jobs trying to make ends meet. A superintendent is a key partner when it comes to transforming our workforce as they influence the full spectrum of K-12 students, and the parents that support them.
With this in mind, FutureMakers Coalition and our partners are thankful for Dr. Greg Adkins’, superintendent of the School District of Lee County. Dr. Adkins’ leadership and focus on expanding student access to quality early childhood education, career and technical education, and technical colleges is exemplary of what our region needs to focus on. This is in direct alignment with what FutureMakers has aligned with since 2014.What many don’t realize is that early childhood education is where workforce development begins.
