  Mary V. Ledoux is the principal at Brooksville Elementary School. From July 1, 2004, to Jan. 3, 2005, she was the assistant principal at Nature Coast Technical, the county's magnet high school. Her son is a sophomore and football player at Nature Coast. She left Nature Coast for her current job at Brooksville Elementary more than three years prior to her son's freshman year. Ledoux and her family live in Lecanto in Citrus County. Her son was in violation of the magnet school policy and he was forced to transfer after the school board voted in June that roughly 12 underclassmen must leave Nature Coast because they lived outside of Hernando County and were ineligible. Ledoux did not return messages seeking comment Wednesday.

  Brooksville Elementary School principal Mary LeDoux said she had the best of intentions when she became principal in 2005.
  
  She was asked to help the school become more connected to the community.
  
  So when school staffers came to LeDoux asking if they could hold Saturday prayer meetings in an effort to better unite the demographically diverse school, she agreed.
  
  She made sure no students would attend and that it would not be held during regular school hours.
  
  "Prayer is what holds the African-American community together," she said."It's an integral part of the culture."
  
  LeDoux said other organizations are given permission to have meetings at the school so she had no concerns that something wrong was being done.
  ...
  "Mary (LeDoux) has gone above and beyond to connect with the community she serves," Tellone said.
  ...
  LeDoux has asked the group to contact local churches to find out if they can pray there instead of the school.

  However, Brooksville Elementary School principal Mary LeDoux already knows what she wants to do with the money her school will receive.
  
  LeDoux said the money will help her school to step into the 21st century with more updated computers.
  
  "I'm pretty excited about this," LeDoux said."This is such a blessing.We have very obsolete computers."
  
  LeDoux said her teachers met her with the news after hearing it from other news outlets.
  
  "It's the talk of my school," she said.

  BROOKSVILLE - Mary Ledoux, assistant principal at Nature Coast Technical High School, will replace Sue Stoops as the new principal of Brooksville Elementary School beginning next semester.
  ...
  A selection committee comprised of school administrators, teachers and district staffers chose Ledoux over two other finalists, Rick Markford and Paul Ware, two assistant principals at Central High School.
  ...
  "I'm really excited," Ledoux said."I'm looking forward to working with everyone at Brooksville Elementary School, and I'm hoping I can make a difference for the kids in Hernando."Stoops, whom Ledoux replaces, will become principal of the Hernando County School District's first, and as yet unnamed, kindergarten-through eighth-grade school scheduled to open in August, 2005.Ledoux, who was born and raised in Miami, came to the district in 1989 as an eighth-grade math teacher at Powell Middle School.A graduate of the University of Central Florida, where she met her husband, Ledoux studied secondary math education, with a minor in mathematics.After receiving her degree, she accepted a teaching post in Okeechobee, the small south Florida town where her family moved while she was in eighth-grade out of a fear of Miami's growing crime problems.Ledoux taught eighth-grade algebra for five years in Okeechobee before moving to Texas with her husband.She spent two years teaching math courses at the University of Texas as an adjunct professor, where she realized how much she missed teaching younger students.At the public high schools and elementary schools, she said, "you have this incredible opportunity to bond with the kids, interact with them and get to know them personally," Ledoux said."At the higher levels, they come, take class notes and leave."When her husband's job took him from Texas to a new post at Citrus Memorial Hospital, Ledoux applied for and landed the teaching position at Powell Middle School.She taught at Powell until 1994, when she made the jump to administration by accepting the assistant principal post at Spring Hill Elementary, a job she held through the end of the last school year.During those 10 years, she watched Spring Hill Elementary grow more crowded as the county grew and the Suncoast Parkway opened."Everything at Spring Hill Elementary boiled down to space," said Ledoux."Especially since the parkway opened."Ledoux joined the administration at Nature Coast Technical High School in July but said she looked forward to the move to Brooksville Elementary School because of its similarities to Spring Hill Elementary, where she spent the bulk of her career.Both, for example, are Title 1 schools, which means a significant portion of the student body is eligible to receive a free or reduced-price lunches."I look at Brooksville Elementary as a sister school to Spring Hill Elementary," said Ledoux.
