During a workshop this afternoon, Brevard Public School Board Members discussed the parameters for the job description/search for a nation-wide search of a new Superintendent. The newly elected school board members fired former Superintendent Dr. Mullins in a 3-2 vote as soon as they were elected.
In the first clip, Gene Trent hints at possibly cutting staff in order to increase the available salary for a new leader. This comes just after they voted to increase staff a few weeks ago as Jennifer Jenkins points out. Another point of contention was the range of the salary being advertised (starting at $195,000) being too low. The rationale given was for someone who may not have the experience as others to demand a higher salary, but maybe someone so talented it would be worth “taking a chance” on them.
