Dodd Bids Farewell to Citrus County School Board After 12 Years

Citrus County School Board member Dodd announced at a Tuesday board meeting that he will step aside at the end of his third term. He was first elected in 2014 after retiring from the sheriff’s office, according to the Citrus County Chronicle.

During his time on the board, Dodd was voted in as vice chair in a reorganization session and later served as board chairman. Superintendent Sam Himmel and incoming chairman Thomas Kennedy presented him with a plaque, the Chronicle reported.

Dodd was also presented a plaque by FHSAA executive director Craig Damon for his tenure as FHSAA president, the Chronicle reported.

Dodd’s District 3 seat will be decided in an open 2026 race between Mike Mullen and John Thrumston. The Aug. 18 election will determine the winner, the Chronicle reported.
