A review of the voting by district on the 2018 referendum for an appointed school superintendent reveals that three districts approved of the change.
Two districts- D2 and D3 – have some of the county’s lowest-performing schools. D4 encompasses most of the city of Pensacola and has several high-performing elementary schools.
D1 – Beulah area – had the narrowest margin – a 642 vote margin against the switch.
D5 – north Escambia – overwhelmingly wanted to keep an elected superintendent.
