The school board chair said he hoped the two sides could come to an agreement by Friday, but no agreement had been reached by the time this story was published Friday evening.
As the Duval County School Board met to vote on the next superintendent last month they urged unity before even discussing the finalists. But it seems Dr. Bernier is facing even more scrutiny after being tapped for the job with people taking to social media to criticize his proposal for a $350,000 base salary plus other costly perks, like a $1,000 monthly car stipend and a $50,000 annual budget for a mentor.
“The position of Superintendent in Lee County changed when the community voted to move to an elected superintendent. I respected that decision and chose not to seek office. This spring, I actively participated in processes to secure a position as an appointed superintendent. In Lee County, we improved student outcomes, and I left on good terms. I look forward to similar success as the Superintendent of Duval County Public Schools,” Bernier previously said.
