Statement from the Superintendent
Marion County Schools is committed to supporting our students, families, staff, and community with transparency, respect, and a focus on facts.
Superintendent Jamie Penoncello has issued the following statement regarding recent social media commentary involving a student of Marion County Schools.
The statement below is shared with the knowledge and support of the student's parents, whose signatures are included to affirm their agreement with the information presented.
Please read the Superintendent's full statement below.
Good afternoon. I am the Superintendent of Marion County Schools, with a heavy heart and a sense of urgency. On Saturday, I came across a post made by our mayor on Facebook regarding one of our students. The post lacked critical facts. It was disappointing to see that he did not reach out to the Principal, the Assistant Superintendent, or myself for clarification. The parents of the student were unaware of the post until later Sunday and called the principal on Monday morning. Imagine their shock and concern. The mayor's words were reckless. They sowed division in our community and hurt innocent people. On Saturday, the Assistant Superintendent and I reached out to the mayor to discuss the inaccuracies in his post. We hoped for an open dialogue, but our calls went nowhere. This speaks volumes. Meanwhile, our coach faces unfair judgment for actions she did not commit. The rush to judgment on social media can be harmful. This situation serves as a reminder. Let's be cautious before jumping to conclusions. It's crucial to gather all the facts before speaking publicly. The parents of this child stand with our school system, just as we stand with our students. Together, we will continue to work tirelessly to make this school system the very best it can be.
