The superintendent of a Florida school district could be forced out of his job by the state Department of Education, which has accused the school official of illegally mandating masks and making inappropriate political statements.
Earlier this month, Florida Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz informed Leon County Schools Superintendent Rocky Hanna he was under investigation for violating several state laws and executive orders and that he was in danger of losing his state educator certificate.The state informed Hanna he was entitled to seek a formal hearing, settle the complaint with the state, or voluntarily surrender his teaching credential, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.
The complaint also reportedly accused Hanna of failing to maintain sufficient school safety officers as required by state law and allowing students to receive an excused absence to attend a February protest against the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis for objecting to the College Board's AP African American Studies course.
