Teacher and Ex-Matanzas Coach Ripley Faces Accusation of Excessive Force With Special Ed Student, 8

March 6, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 42 Comments

Robert Ripley, a special education teacher at Wadsworth Elementary and a district faculty member since 2004, in a 2015 screen capture from a Florida High School 7v7 Association video, when he was the Matanzas High School football coach.

Wadsworth ESE teacher Robert Ripley was caught on school video twice pushing an 8-year-old student, behavior deemed impermissible by the school board attorney, in an incident that took place just one day after another ESE teacher was fired for using excessive force toward a student.

Issuing Superintendent Preferences, ESE Committee Is Sharply Critical of Process and Local Candidates

February 17, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

The School Board-appointed Citizens Advisory Committee met just twice to prepare its list of recommended candidates for superintendent, the second time last week (above), leading a different committee not sanctioned by the school board to provide its own recommendations--and plenty of criticism for the advisory committee's approach.

The Exceptional Student Education Parent Advisory Council, a group of volunteers recognized but not sanctioned by the Flagler County School Board, issued its own recommendations for superintendent–a list of six candidates, none of them local, while pointedly excluding or sharply criticizing four of the local candidates who’d made a different short list.
