Sad that Escambia County voters let a bunch of idiots manipulate them to give up their say on our school system. Now, I’m certain the filthy Liberals in Acedemia are going to put a like minded individual in that spot. Someone that knows nothing about our regional, let alone local identity. Then again, maybe that’s exactly the agenda, to erase that identity and instill their filthy ideals in our children above and beyond what their already learning.

Not sure why everyone is putting in their 2 cents. You gave up your right to elect the superintendent and put it in the hands of the board. So now you’ll just have to reap it. The is what you get when you give up your rights.

Did the citizens who voted yes for an appointed Superintendent not realize they were handing over control to the school board? This was promoted in a such a way that the voters fell for the publicity and the wording that was on the ballot. Now the taxpayers students, and schools will reap the consequences. The good ole boys are now in control. Follow the money on those who sponsored the proposal. The Teachers Union also plays a role in this too. Parents of students you will get a superintendent chosen by the school board whether you like it or not. Complaining won’t do any good. I bet they already know who will be selected .

I’ve lived in West Pensacola for 15 years and have never understood why we don’t divide Escambia County between 2-3 Superintendents. Our student base is just too large.
Change up the Organization Chart.

A quick review of the resumes of the six candidates points to the obvious choice for me. There is only one candidate who hasn’t job-hopped, often from state to state or county to county, in an effort to pad a resume and self-promote. The big red-flags for me are less than three years in a position of great responsibility, such as principal of a school, and the size comparisons of the Escambia County School District with the ones noted for each of the other candidates. When you weigh the combination of these variables, one candidate has a clear appreciation for the needs of Escambia County and a proven record of service to Escambia County. That candidate is Keith Leonard. He IS the best and most experienced person for the job. He has spent 30+ years in a meaningful pursuit of what is best for our students and has a real stake in their success. He does not view this position as an entry on a meaningless resume. I have little confidence that the other candidates are truly interested in the success of our students. I enthusiastically support Keith Leonard for Superintendent of the ECSD.
