Lawmaker proposes that voters should elect Hernando County superintendent
Haley Hinds reports
BROOKSVILLE, Fla. - A state lawmaker wants to change how the superintendent of schools in Hernando County is chosen. Rather than being appointed by the school board, as they are now, Rep. Blaise Ingoglia wants that decision to be in voters hands. The school board and the superintendent position need to be held more accountable for some of the decisions that they make, Ingoglia said.
He s proposing a bill that would let voters elect their superintendent, a change, he admits, would make it a partisan position.
Hernando County s Legislative Delegation supports it.
