Adams explains agenda add-on re: Smith’s contract

Escambia County School Board chairman Kevin Adams was my guest on WCOA this morning. We discussed his vote in favor of the board discussing the termination of Superintendent Tim Smith’s contract last Tuesday.

“You know I advocated for us to have a strong board,” said Adams. “I’m never going to be afraid to discuss the superintendent’s performance. I will tell you, I have told a superintendent I am expecting for us at the end of this year to be pre-COVID or better on our school grades. I want to see a stop in the decline in enrollment. I want to see good order and discipline in our schools. I want to keep pushing for that. The only way we can have these discussions is in that boardroom.”
