Hernando County: Small school district, big district troubles

Florida's Hernando County school district is proving that not only the biggest systems suffer from politics and infighting. After years of internal disputes, and growing discontent within the general public, the board recently fired superintendent Lori Romano on a 3-2 vote, accusing her of ineffective leadership and other shortcomings. Romano turned around and demanded a hearing where she wants to prove otherwise, as a new district leader tries to cool tempers back down. Hernando County education reporter Megan Reeves joins Jeff Solochek to discuss what's happening in the small, semi-rural district north of Tampa. Hosted on Acast.
