Hillsborough County schools superintendent MaryEllen Elia says she's "committed" to the district.

Hillsborough County schools superintendent MaryEllen Elia says she’s committed to staying in the county.

Elia has been suggested as a replacement for state Education Commissioner Gerard Robinson, who has resigned his post and will leave at the end of the month.

Elia didn’t rule out the job, but says she has other priorities.

“I have a lot to do in Hillsborough and I’m very committed to Hillsborough,” she says.

And that’s all she would say.
