Breaking: ECT director campaigns for Hightower

Escambia Children’s Trust executive director Tammy Greer has written a letter to the Escambia County School Board requesting they let Patty Hightower stay on the board at least until November.

I don’t have a copy of the letter, but I had it read to me last night. Greer praises Hightower’s dedication to ECT and her attendance at meetings.

The school board has been considering replacing Hightower with new board member David Williams. Greer has little negative to say about Williams but didn’t like that his appointment would put three people living in District 3 on the board.

District 3 covers some of the poorest census tracts in Escambia County.

She appears to be under the impression that board membership should be tied to county districts.

The ECT board approves Greer’s employment and budget. There is no other check on how she runs ECT.
