Overview

• Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas sent a letter warning that the Alachua County School Board’s salaries could be withheld and that chair Sarah Rockwell’s Florida teaching certificate may be revoked.
• The threats stem from Rockwell’s Facebook comment mocking Hulk Hogan’s death as “one less MAGA,” which sparked bipartisan outrage and calls for her resignation.
• Rockwell deleted the offending posts and issued a public apology describing her remark as “cruel and flippant” and pledging to advocate impartially for all students and families.
• Local GOP leaders and advocacy groups, including the Alachua County Republican Party and Cato Institute’s Corey DeAngelis, have continued to demand Rockwell’s resignation.
• Rockwell remains in her role while the Florida Department of Education conducts its review of potential professional sanctions.
