Barrow with Ex. Dir. Lefere and Superintendent Tierney

After 30 incredible years with the Monroe County School District, Director of Maintenance Jeff Barrow is hanging up his hard hat and stepping into a well-earned retirement. As the Director of Maintenance, Jeff has been the steady hand behind countless upgrades, major construction projects, and the tireless recovery efforts following some of the toughest hurricanes we’ve faced.

His knowledge, leadership, and unwavering dedication have shaped not just the department—but the very foundation of our schools. Jeff didn’t just manage a team; he built one. And thanks to his mentorship and high standards, that team will carry forward his legacy of excellence.

Jeff, your impact will be felt for years to come. We’ll miss your calm in the storm, your eye for detail, and your heart for this district. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter—you’ve more than earned it.
