FLOYD T. CHRISTIAN SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Board Works To Strengthen Pinellas School System Twice monthly the Pinellas County School Board meets in Clearwater. Since 1912, when the Board con- sisted of three members, it has grown into a strong body of seven dedicated civic leaders. Appointed and directed by the Board is the Superintendent of Schools, who is the general administrator of the county school system, presently Floyd T. Christian. Through constant evalua- tion and long range planning, the Board strives to strengthen the local educational system. All policies, rules, and regulations for all the schools of the county must be handled by the School Board. W'hen making local rulings, they must remember the de- sires of local residents, as well as the state laws. As the School Board studies problems, recommendations, quali- fications of personnel, and approval of textbooks and cur- riculum, they must remember that the voters hold them responsible for managing the county schools as effective- ly and economically as possible.
