Tuesday night the Hillsborough County School Board narrowly voted to fire the district’s superintendent.
MaryEllen Elia will get more than a million dollars in compensation and her last day will be March 5.
Even though the school board voted 4-to-3 to terminate Elia’s contract, many members of the public spoke in favor of keeping her.
That includes Kathleen Shanahan who is the former chief of staff to Governor Jeb Bush.
