    This guy apparently got anpproval from the cojnty board after resigning in Lee county, allegedly amid claims of bullying and racism.

    So now he falls up to Jax, and is asking for:
    350k in salary
    1k a month in auto expenses
    15k to move
    87.5k a year into his retirement accounta year (25 percent of his salary)
    30k a year if he is found to be “highly effective” and 25k if “effective”.

    so good luck Duval, he seems like a winner.

    New Duval superintendent asks for $350K salary, $1,000 monthly car stipend, $15,000 in ‘transition expenses’

    Good question. Maybe I will ask my friend in Fort Myers who has some political ties if he knows anything about this.

    DCPS has a 1.2 billion budget deficit. Sounds like this guy will fix that.....

    Like judges, superintendents must be non-political. Appointment is the best way to ensure this in an imperfect world. BUT, the boards which appoint them have become increasingly politicized, and the world becomes more imperfect.
