Brevard board sends superintendent out with legal safeguards

The decision

The Brevard board has moved to part ways with its superintendent. The action includes legal safeguards tied to the superintendent’s departure.

The decision is a board action involving the leadership of Brevard’s school system. The available account does not identify the superintendent by name or spell out the terms of the legal protections.

Calls to wait

Some people urged the board to delay action until new members joined it. The debate therefore centered not only on the superintendent’s departure, but also on whether the current board should make the decision before its membership changed.

The board proceeded with the action rather than waiting for the new members. The account does not state when those members will take office.

What happens next

The legal safeguards will shape the next steps in the superintendent’s departure. The board’s action also leaves the school system to manage the transition after the superintendent is sent on his way.
