District 2 Escambia County School Board member Paul Fetsko said on WCOA this morning that he didn’t want to discuss terminating Superintendent Tim Smith’s contract. He requested the school board discuss a no-confidence vote.
“My initial was that I asked to have a vote of confidence or no confidence, okay?” said Fetsko.”And it came out printed a different way than I had intended. Sometimes those things happen.”
He explained, “What I’d like to know is after we, as a board, listened to the hours of parents speaking at public forum, where others were feeling about what direction we need to give to the superintendent in terms of dealing with issues that seem to keep coming back–in terms of some either misunderstanding, miscommunication, or lack of communication with he and the staff.”
Fetsko continued, “And there are things that are going on that are causing a lot of dismay in the community. And I think that we need to find a way to impress upon the superintendent that these things need to be addressed and they need to be addressed now.”
