Sarasota School Board Chair Tim Enos Announces Resignation

Sarasota County School Board Chair and District 5 representative Tim Enos announced Wednesday that he will resign from the school board, assuming the role of the district’s police chief, a position he previously held.

His resignation is effective Aug. 24.

Enos was elected to the board in 2022 and was chosen by his colleagues as chair in 2024. He had previously served as the board’s vice chair, a role now held by Robyn Marinelli.

According to the school district, Enos has over 30 years of law enforcement experience, including 22 years specifically focused on working within schools.

“I can think of no better person to lead the Sarasota County Schools Police Department,” said Superintendent of Schools Terry Connor in the release. “Mr. Enos’ unmatched expertise in school safety, his deep knowledge of this department, and his commitment to protecting our students and staff make him the ideal choice for this critical position.”
