BRADENTON – At Monday's meeting, the Manatee School Board approved a proposed contract for newly-hired Superintendent Rick Mills, after accepting some proposed revisions by board members David Miner and Robert Gause. The consideration of the contract was the last move in affirming the status of Mills, who will begin overseeing the district in March. In other business, the board was presented with information that pertained to the possible future of Rogers Garden Elementary School, and discussed an eventual school board attorney transition. Dr. Bill Vogel served as Interim Superintendent in place of Dr. Gayler, who was absent from the meeting.
