The second in command, Ms. Sheena Payne, should be one of the candidates considered for this position as well. Especially since she was overlooked for the position when Smith was let go. The way this all occurred was not fair to her.

I have always believed that a local should hold this position and it should be an elected by the people not an appointed by the board position.

So the plan was to bring in a Fall Guy – Tim Smith – to take the blame for Warrington Middle School’s eventual, inevitable, irrevocable demise and then use that as a pretense to fire the scape goat and to put in the guy they wanted from the get-go, a one Mr. Keith Leonard.

It may not have been my plan, but I do love it when a (corrupt) plan comes together!

The voters of Escambia County should NEVER given up the right to vote for a superintendent. I totally support Keith Leonard for this job. Bill Slayton not sure what your problem is , with Mr.. Leonard,
but the voters of district 5 are watching. Mr. Slayton should enjoy retirement..

Great news! Mr. Leonard is a good man. He has always supported all stakeholders: distr in ct employees, parents, and students. He has a strong work ethic and is invested in our district and community. We are blessed to have him at the helm.

Vote the board out. When you OVERRIDE VOTERS, you are not representing them!

We need to petition to get our vote back. I don’t like five people deciding who leads this system. They need to answer to the people. And I want those five to hear from us come November. Wish our Rep was back up for renewal, we could end his contract.

Sounds like the best way to go. Mr. Leonard seems to be out working and not just sitting behind a desk. He gets along with the board and folks in the schools. The board has made a wise decision to keep a local person in that position. And, Mr. Leonard has given a great idea with the rolling contract. Win, win all around.
