On WCOA this morning, Escambia County School Superintendent Tim Smith discussed last night’s 3-2 vote by the school board that rejected a referendum to return to an elected superintendent.
“What it really all boils down to is our focus every day to be on our students and having them learn at high levels, be successful and grow. And so we’re excited about the future,” Dr. Smith said. “One of the things that I learned in research about elected and appointed superintendents is the importance of stability. The more stability, the longer the superintendent’s in place and systems are put into place and operated, the better the outcomes are.”
