We often measure the depth of someone else's water by the length of our own legs.Nowhere is that more true than in politics right now. We look at a neighbor's vote, a stranger's post, or a family member's opinion and decide we already know who they are and why they think the way they do. We call their fears overblown and their struggles exaggerated, because the issue that is drowning them barely reaches our ankles.The price of groceries, the cost of insurance, a job that disappeared, a policy that touched their family and not ours. The same headline lands differently depending on where you're standing.Understanding someone doesn't mean agreeing with them. It means admitting you are only seeing the surface before you decide what's underneath.We can disagree without assuming the worst. Before you tell someone it isn't that deep, remember you're standing on a different rock. ...

BREAKING: School Board Chair Matt Susin has called a special meeting for 9 a.m. Tuesday to shield the superintendent who just quit on Brevard Public Schools in the middle of the school year among pending investigations.History repeating itself with Dr. Rendell.On Oct. 27, the School Board rated Mark Rendell 93.96 percent and handed him a $10,000 bonus. Nine days later, Eastern Florida State College announced he was leaving his over $300k job to take a vice president job that was never advertised. There is no public record he gave the board the notice his contract requires before he went looking. There's already a regular board meeting scheduled where this could have been added to the agenda but that meeting will also include the newly elected board members. Susin has called this meeting BEFORE the new board members are sworn in.Now Susin wants the board to vote on a “Mutual Separation Agreement” that waives Rendell’s 90 days of notice, pays out his unused leave, keeps the district on the hook for his legal bills, and releases him from every claim, “known or unknown.” The Rocket has been told the document was largely copied from the agreement the board gave Mark Mullins when it fired him without cause, with the 20 weeks of severance removed. Mullins was fired. Rendell quit. He is getting the same protection.He is walking out with the Riviera Elementary death still under investigation, a state reporting inquiry into three district employees (including Gene Trent) still pending, no chief financial officer, a $100 million short-term loan, a $79 million budget cut, and 7 percent staffing cuts he ordered himself.If that sounds familiar, it should. In 2019, Rendell was at odds with the Indian River County School Board over district finances and his contract. He quietly lined up a job as a principal at Cocoa Beach without telling his board, and a loyal member tried to rush through his exit terms. That board said no. He left anyway.Same playbook. Different county. Same financial questions left behind.The special meeting is 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Educational Services Facility in Viera. Show up and ask the board one question: who does this agreement serve, the students or the man who quit?Read the full article for the contract language, the agreement, and the records: thespacecoastrocket.com/brevard-school-board-rendell-separation-agreement-vote/#BrevardSchools #SpaceCoastRocket #BrevardCounty ...
