Enough with the drama! Asplen has proven himself these last 2 years and holds the favor of teachers & administrators. Forcing him out is detrimental to our children’s education!

Venice resident. This is shameful and the over reach by the far right School Board is frightening. This clearly was political and their intent as the motion was made days after they joined the board. Shameful!

I do not support the County School board and their irrational, politically motivated move to terminate Dr. Aspen. As a voter, and tax payer, and like they are acting irresponsibility.

Dr. Asplen has just had a terrific evaluation. Not only is breaking his contract a waste of taxpayer money, but it's going to cause unnecessary upheaval and disruption in our school system.

As a Sarasota County Teacher, I believe Karen Rose is performing as a political puppet. This move to fire an excellent Superintendent is despicable!
Short memory if she can’t recall Todd Bowden and Dr Norris !!!
I move to review Karen Rose file. Let’s have a look at the numbers when she was an administrator as well as her evaluation file.

The entire board should resign. They spout that they are looking after our children, when in reality they are spouting political rhetoric that divides our community.

The entire board should resign. They have no intentions of putting children first and they never did. The people that voted for these monsters should be ashamed of themselves.

Dr. Asplen has done an excellent job and received superior marks. He should continue as Sarasota's School district superintendent!

I fully support this effort. This Board is going to turn Sarasota into a right wing disaster!
