STARKE, Fla. – The superintendent of the Bradford County School District is facing a defamation lawsuit brought by an organizer for the local chapter of Special Olympics Florida. “The email did not give dates, times, or list a phone number for a return call,” the Facebook post said. Cooper approached the Superintendent and proceeded to rant about the district’s failure to respond to her request; repeatedly using profanity," the Facebook post said. Cooper’s behavior was unprofessional, unwarranted and highly inappropriate given the presence of parents, teachers and even students in close enough proximity to have overheard her profane diatribe,” the district’s Facebook post said. After doing that she created a false and libelous post on the school district’s official Facebook page.

BRADFORD COUNTY, Fla. After an outcry from teachers, the Bradford County School Board on Monday night voted against placing web cameras in classrooms for students who are learning at home. The option was being offered to students in Bradford County, Bradford Innovations, would have allowed registered students to attend their regular classes virtually alongside students who are in the physical classroom. According to the Bradford County School District, it would have allowed students to receive the same instruction as if they were in the classroom for six hours a day. Superintendent Stacey Creighton said last week one of the concerns in a rural school district like Bradford County is internet connections. Weve had internet issues across Bradford County, and obviously this would not be the best fit with those without internet, Creighton added.
