This is just typical of an egotistical moron who says he is concerned with the safety and security of our children yet shows he is willing to make progress stop until he gets his way. Can you say bully? I like how he also says that he wasn't involved in the planning. Like he thinks he's a cop! He was a glorified meter maid and his ideas always end up with just another way to write more tickets. I hope this type of reporting makes the public realize that this once great agency is now a circus and Bozo is running it.

Knight's new proposal is to hired "at will" school deputies who only work during the school year and whose employment-contract expires at the end of each school year (no guarantee of contract renewal). It is strange and unorthodox.
My concern is the caliber of applicants for that kind of an "at will" position. Rookies with no street experience will take the job, but that will be a liability because they haven't learned when to arrest and when to let things slide (kind of like Knight LOL). Retirees might also apply. It's just strange all-around.
Knight has been bucking heads with elected representatives for a long time e.g. Knight threatened Caroline Zucker, Knight defied the chief judges order, Knight said he's never had issues with people until he dealt with the Sarasota School board (that's rubbish), etc.
It is time for Knight to go.

Lest we not forget that the candidate has to take the PAT test, go to in-service training and won't get a take home car. retirees that apply will not be eligible for a retirement plan either. I would bet that those SRO employees will be as good as the non-road trained bailiffs. Good luck with this.

There are two extremes:
1. On the one hand, sticking a non-road trained (aka inexperienced) applicant in a school with a badge and a gun is a liability issue, as well as a supervisory issue.
2. Hiring retirees is going to attract older folks who are not going to want to be walking around a campus all day. You will invariably find them in their office, except at special times when they are required to be present e.g. the arrival of buses in the morning, the departure of buses in the afternoon, cafeteria at lunchtime, etc.
I also noticed that they are not covered by the career service board because they are "at will" employees, so they can be fired for no reason at all -- just the way Knight likes it. LOL (actually, it's not funny). Knight is a tyrannical bully.

Rubbish. Knight can't get along with others. Period. And when he doesn't get his way, he fights back and starts accusing others of things that are not true. The liar accuses others of lying.
Knight contributed to Caroline Zucker's campaign and endorsed a campaign check to her and has his photo taken with her. Then he threatened to turn Zucker in to the Florida ethics committee because she shared that information.
Knight was ordered by chief judge Charles Williams to reinstate security into the Sarasota Clerk of Court building. Knight refused the judges order.
And in the most recent incident, Knight is accusing Superintendent Bowden of lying -- and Knight is accusing the entire Sarasota school board of "doing business" without him.
The community is seeing Knight for what he truly is: a man with emotional problems who cannot be told "no." Anyone who disagrees with ANYTHING he says publicly is attacked by him. The man is nuts and is "emotionally hostile." It's an illness.
