The teacher now known as Ashlee Belle Renczkowski's has a wife, Fawn Rose Renczkowski, who is also a teacher and who identifies as a mermaid. Ashlee was troubled after reading posts about his spouse and himself and that is what triggered his "bad thoughts". When he told the assistant principal and, separately, the guidance counselor that he had thoughts of suicide and of shooting many of the students in his class, he was allowed to remain in the classroom. Parents of students in Fox Chapel Middle School were not notified of any issue until late that evening and the official account severely underplayed the true events. The Chairman of the school board, Gus Guadagnino and Superintendent John Stratton sought to bury the issue and cover up what happened. Only after an oversight group named Moms for Liberty obtained a copy of the official report from the sheriff's department did they find out that the sheriff's department had visited the teacher the day of the incident and seized 3 firearms from him. A temporary Risk Protective Order (RPO) was issued which was later made permanent by court order for at least 1 year. When this information came to light a single School Board Member was responsible for standing up to her fellow board members and school superintendent and demand that action be taken to remove the teacher from the classroom immediately and start proceedings to remove his teaching certificate. Newly elected school board member Shannon Rodriguez has been actively calling out the Hernando County School Board for keeping her and the parents in the dark about the severity of the alleged incident and what disciplinary action is being planned for the teacher. Last Tuesday's School Board Meeting was filled with angry parents who were demanding answers from Superintendent Stratton who was giving vague and noncommittal answers to their questions. He told the parents to stick around to the end of the meeting and he would give them answers. When the meeting was over, all he said was "I can't discuss it." and walked away to screams from the angry parents.

BTW, Board Member Rodriguez has been working with Gov. DeSantis on pulling offensive and pornographic books out of the district's schools and last board meeting forced a vote of the board to remove at least one of the offensive books that was found in the school libraries even though school administrators denied the books existed. A fellow board member has been deriding Rodriguez's actions as illegal and improper because Mrs. Rodriguez entered the school library "when the lights were off" and improperly took possession of county property. In reality, Mrs. Rodriguez had checked into the office, told the asst principal what she was looking for, went to the school library where the librarian helped her locate the books, when at first they denied the books were there. This was done while the kids were on spring break, which is why "the lights were off". The last several school board meetings have been interesting to watch due to the fireworks brought about by Mrs. Rodriguez as she systematically exposes the board members bad behavior.

The battle against corruption begins at the local level.
