Lynne Kirby

Lynne Kirby serves as the Exceptional Student Education (ESE) Coordinator for the Citrus County School District, bringing over three decades of steadfast dedication to supporting students with unique learning needs. Now in her second year as ESE Coordinator, Lynne’s deep-rooted passion for public education is reflected in a career that spans virtually every level of district leadership. Over 30 transformative years with Citrus County Schools, she has served with distinction as a classroom teacher, assistant principal, principal, and district director before stepping into her current administrative capacity.

An accomplished academic, Lynne earned her Bachelor of Arts from Saint Leo University before completing her Master of Arts in Education at the University of South Florida. After briefly retiring in 2022, her lifelong devotion to student success and community service led her back to the classroom and administrative sphere in 2025. Driven by a desire to make a lasting difference, Lynne returned specifically to champion the ESE Department, where her vast experience, collaborative approach, and comprehensive background in educational leadership ensure that every exceptional learner in Citrus County receives the tailored support, advocacy, and guidance necessary to thrive.
