The Escambia County School Board has on its agenda an item to approve to “begin discussions on terminating Superintendent Smith’s contract.” He still has two more years on his contract.
Smith took over from Malcolm Thomas near the end of the first semester of the 2020-21 school year. He had to deal with the Covid pandemic most of his first full year (2021-22), using many of the holdovers from the Thomas era.
I’ve received several phone calls and texts questioning the board’s wisdom in undermining Smith so early in the school year.
This will be a meeting to watch.
Don’t try this on northescambia. Geez, the gatekeeping is ridiculous.
Made up culture war outrage.
This is ridiculous, the electorate voted to have an appointed superintendent. The school board doesn’t need to politcize this under pressure at election time. He signed a contract. Honor it.
As far as this issue, so what, don’t post naked pics, don’t kill yourself.
Parents, you kids are interested in sex, help them navigate it.
Tim did well through COVID, managing a dashboard, keeping schools open and sports going yet closely monitoring cases and not over reacting and shutting it all down during a confusing time.
If they vote to dismiss him because of pressure, they are idiots.
