Broward School Board rescinds superintendent's firing by DeSantis appointees
Miami Herald via Yahoo News
In the latest of a series of unexpected twists and turns, the Broward School Board on Tuesday handed Superintendent Vickie Cartwright her job back at least temporarily.
The eight members of the nine-member board voted 5-3 to rescind Cartwrights Nov. 14 termination. That firing came in a late-night vote after the five members appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis terminated her contract in a 5-4 vote. Four of the five are no longer on the board.
The eight board members present at the School Board meeting Tuesday agreed to revisit Cartwrights performance come Jan. 24, the deadline initially set in late October by the former board for a 90-day improvement plan by Cartwright.
The members also decided to keep the national search for a new superintendent going, in case they end up dismissing Cartwright, 52, next month.
