Robert Sutton, a Broward School District high school teacher of the year and vocal critic of the corruption in Broward Schools, was named one of the Walmart People Making A Difference.

Sutton, a former candidate for Broward School Board District 4, is deeply involved in teaching local students about business and entrepreneurial skills. He tells RED BROWARD he’s deeply honored to be recognized for helping Broward’s young business people.

This summer, the City of Sunrise honored Sutton for his teaching as well.

Sutton said he is disgusted by the investigations of the BTU; Now, he understands why the BTU was dismissive of his attempts to protect teacher paychecks. He turned to Broward GOP chairman Richard DeNapoli for help. Their efforts helped save teachers 3% of their paychecks.

Sutton said he was seriously considering another run for the School Board next year.
