Be careful how you vote and give away your rights. Others (meaning not me) voted to change from receiving the majority of votes for the office of School Superintendent to appointment.

Accountability is now coming to the forefront. It’s becoming common place to hire out duties the Board and Human Resources are paid to do.. sad, I say replace them in the process, a clean sweep is what’s needed.

Make sure you know the end process, who cooked it or it can leave a great taste or one of rancid flavor for a long time after the fact in the public's mouth1 Remember this dear hearts and gentle people...education is the ONLY profession in which the participants and parents expect 100% success! It ain't goin' to happen with either an elected or an appointed superintendent. Lawyers lose cases, doctors lose patients, pilots crash aircraft, but the teachers are expected to perform miracles by educating those individuals that have been subjected to an environment for their first 4-5 years. Lay blame where it should be??? Having worked on all levels in this district for 39 years, this decision is like eating spaghetti!

It would have been more easy to vote out one bad super than five board members. The governor wont even be able to fire the appointed superintendent. Trey.

We have 5 elected officials who sit on the School Board, so it's not as if we're giving away our rights. We elected those 5 to represent all of us and they'll do their best to find a competent new leader for Escambia County Schools. It's about time that we look beyond the same ol', same ol' for local politicians and find someone from a nationwide search who's a great fit for our needs. If you don't like it, vote out your School Board representative every 4 years. I think this is a great move for Escambia County.

Lots of chatter on the streets still about who and which special interest groups were behind the push to "Appoint" someone to this very important position. Of course with 5 individual ECSB members influencing the pathways of the district it will be very interesting to see what unfolds for our kids. Lord, Please guide this process for a positive result for our kids and grands and those who work so hard in the school system.
