From Lennon Moore, Winter Park

As a citizen of Orange County I strongly object to having an elected chair for the school board for several reasons:

- It does nothing to improve education for the students of the county.
- It creates yet another layer of government in an already daunting pile of layers.
- It puts more distance between students, parents, teachers and the board.
- It politicizes education in an unhealthy way.
- It sets up a framework of competition rather than cooperation.
- It makes no sense or cents.
