Murray State President Dr. Randy Dunn won’t be Florida’s next Education Commissioner. The Florida Board of Education unanimously chose another finalist, Indiana Superintendent Tony Bennett, during their meeting today. This is the second position Dunn has pursued in the past few months. Dunn has stated he will continue to pursue “exceptional career opportunities” until Murray State’s Board of Regents grants him a contract extension.
