Sarasota County School Superintendent Carl Strode told a Kiwanis group that 12 county officials back a constitutional amendment to make county school superintendents appointive rather than elected. The plan, supported by Hillsborough Manatee Pinellas Dade and Palm Beach counties, would end four year terms and require non partisan elections.
