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.
Of the three this one gets my vote.
