It wasn’t the outcome she hoped. After a two hour debate, the Broward School board voted 6-3 Tuesday afternoon to not make Dr. Vickie Cartwright the permanent superintendent.

Cartwright will continue as interim superintendent for the nation’s sixth largest school district.

Cartwright was hired two and a half months ago to be the interim superintendent when longtime superintendent Robert Runcie stepped down after his arrest on a perjury charge. At the time Cartwright signed her contract there was a clause that said she was ineligible to apply for the permanent position of superintendent.
