Dade County’s straw poll found that voters want the county schools superintendent elected rather than appointed and both school board members and county commissioners to be elected at large rather than by district.
But voters Tuesday didn’t support raising school board members’ pay from $50 per meeting to roughly $4,000 per year to match what commissioners earn.
“I think the whole community should be able to decide” on the schools superintendent, said voter Allen Wilson, 43, of Wildwood.
