The sudden firing of a Florida school superintendent has generated debate on whether the move violated state law.

In a surprise move, Broward County Schools superintendent Vickie Cartwright was fired during the district’s scheduled Nov. 14 school board meeting. The firing was immediately challenged by school board vice chair Lori Alhadeff as a possible violation of Florida’s Sunshine Law.
