After Education Commissioner Manny Diaz Jr. was selected Tuesday to become interim president of the University of West Florida, the State Board of Education next week could consider appointing a new commissioner. An agenda for the board’s June 4 meeting in Miami had not been posted online as of mid-day Wednesday. But a meeting notice published in the Florida Administrative Register listed the appointment of a commissioner among “items for consideration.” The University of West Florida trustees approved naming Diaz as interim president, after longtime President Martha Saunders announced this month she would step down. Diaz, a former legislator, has served as education commissioner since 2022.
