Bridget Zeigler and Moms for Liberty is a sham. They pose a real danger to our democracy.

The firing of Superintendent Aspen is a disgrace! The Board watched Dr. Asplen work tirelessly to get us through 2 hurricanes and then fired him! How to show appreciation!

Outrageous shoving out of an amazing administrator. Guess the Board members communicated by mental telepathy to make this disastrous decision??

I am not sure the reasons for the firing, therefore, there was literally no transparency to his professional evaluation that would lead to his firing.

The board must involve the community in a transparent recruiting process for a new superintendent!

The recent decision by the incoming school board members to dismiss our superintendent was without merit and clearly politically motivated. Shame!

We knew their representation was going to biased and bad, but we didn't know it would be this bad. They have cost us $170,000+ and we have lost an excellent Superintendent as well! They should RESIGN and Asplen should STAY! They already have shown that they do not represent us, the tax payers.

Politics have no place on the School Board! Students should be the main focus.

I feel like he was a scapegoat. The superintendent doesn’t create policy; he enforces it.

I’m sure Dr. Asplan is glad to get a golden parachute out of this mess. What a waste of Tax dollars!! Never vote for that penny tax again.

It is disgusting that someone like Karen Rose would use children as political pawns. Shame on her.

I do not appreciate nor support the school decision to either fire or terminate the superintendent. Nor the waste of the tax prayers' tax dollars.

As a retired teacher who worked with Karen Rose as my principal, I am appalled! , Karen Rose and several of the other school board members are putting their politics ahead of the needs of the students of Sarasota

The Proud Boys and Mom's for Liberty have no place in good education. Rose and all the others are there, to destroy public education.
