Jefferson Schools superintendent Amy Gee officially returns to work today, Thursday, November 12, after a month on paid, non-disciplinary administrative leave.

School board president Shane Foster announced the return in a message to district families on Tuesday, November 11, saying Gee — superintendent since 2024 — and the board “remain committed” to the district’s work and are “united” moving forward.

Gee was placed on leave in October. On November 2, the board acknowledged community concerns and said it was following policy to ensure “a thorough, fair, and impartial review.”

The board has repeatedly declined to say what led to the leave, calling it a personnel matter.

Jefferson Schools is in Monroe County, Michigan, just north of Toledo — squarely in ToledoBuzz’s border coverage area.
