Lee County Schools have about 80,000 students in it's district.
The school is about 50% white, 28% hispanic and 14% black. http://www.leeschools.net/info/pdf/StudentDiversityBreakdown_0809.pdf
It's budget is about $1.42 billion dollars, or about $17,750 per child.

His latest evaluations were above average from the school board, averaging 2.81 out of 3 points: http://news-press.net/blogs/chalkboard/2010/06/28/browders-evaluation-polarizes-school-board/
Dr. Broward started a policy in which teachers cannot talk to students via Facebook and Myspace. For me, that is good. http://news-press.net/blogs/chalkboard/2010/09/02/freshman-says-teachers-unfriended-him-because-of-policy/
There's not a lot of negative news about Dr. Browder and it appears he gets along with the union ok.
For whatever it is worth, he is white.
