Escambia School Board Member Elected To Statewide Office

June 24, 2011

Escambia County School Board member Patty Hightower was elected vice president of the Florida School Boards Association at its annual spring meeting earlier this month in Tampa.

The association is a state-wide organization of all Florida school board members which provides training for school board members and coordinates the exchange of information and ideas among the state school districts.

“It is an honor to serve on the Florida School Board Association leadership team not only to represent the students and citizens of Escambia County, but to support public education for the whole state as we create partnerships and leadership to keep the public aware of developments in public education,” Hightower said.

Superintendent Malcolm Thomas said Hightower, who represents District 4, is a strong and capable leader.

“We are excited that these attributes are being recognized by others and that her talents will be used to tackle state-wide school issues,” he said.
