What would change my mind? A term limit of 8 years (two terms). Same goes for every elected official, including constitutional officers. Otherwise, I’ll vote for an appointed superintendent again.

We the citizens of Escambia Co should elect the School Superintendent & not just 5 board members. Keith Leonard is doing a great job. Glad to know he’ll take the job again whether appointed or elected. He’s for the teachers & the kids. Agree with LB & Interesting.
