Mr. Larry Bell has been with Seminole High School since 2006 and since then touched the lives of thousands of Students, Parents, Faculty & Staff of not only Seminole High but Seminole County asa whole. He is a loving Teacher, Coach, Husband, Father, Son, Co-Worker & Friend to all. As a former student, I deeply respect Coach Bell as a Mentor and above all a true friend.
While I am in full support of the mothers' right to protect her child from danger, I feel that the disciplinary measures being taken against Coach Bell exceed what the situation merits. Both Coach Bell and the student affirm that no indecent or romantic actions have taken place, and police investigation also confirms that no criminal activity has taken place. If Coach Bell is guilty of anything it is of being a human being. The very epitome of an educator that takes not only the development of minds takes place, but of character as well. This type of care is deserving of being loved and appreciated, and the mere fact that the words " I love you" were exchanged between two is not evidence to condemn a good man.
The signatures of the people below are of people who also love Coach Bell and do not approve of the implications that these accusations placed upon a good man.

The past few days have been draining but the messages from those who know Coach Bell keep me going. I am still working behind the scenes to make sure the school board understands that a few words do not outweigh years of dedication.

Seeing the momentum behind this has been heavy and grounding during a long week. I am tired but feeling the weight of your support, which reminds me why we cannot let this go.

The days have been long and honestly quite draining for everyone involved. We are nearing the target and I need you to push this forward now before the momentum fades.

No way!! I used to go to Seminole and I remember the rumors about his now wife relationship while she was attending SHS. He gives massages at school? Come on kids aren't we a smarter generation?

Coach Bell is such a great person. This is honestly so unfair and he has done so much for the school over the years.
He literally just said he loved his students like family. People are way too sensitive these days smh.
Ridiculous. Let the man teach. He helped me out a ton back in 09 and never once crossed a line.
One of the best teachers/coaches ever
