Toxic Leaders in Tampa Bay Area Public Schools (TLTBAPS)

This post will serve as a running list for those who are concerned with students who attend these schools and loved ones who work at these schools. You should be particularly concerned if you know brown people at these schools. This list will be continuously updated on the TLTBAPS tab as I receive information from the public. Note: We will not be able to confirm if the Toxic Leaders are currently working at these particular schools. But their legacy continues to poison communities across the Tampa Bay area.

Posing in photos with brown children, shaking brown people's hands, and trying to speak a lil' Espanol or Ebonics is not an indicator of a lack of racism. For all the talk that school districts do about risk ratios and eliminating disproportionality in the discipline of "Black" students, an equally important matter should be investigating the same with "Black" employees. For all we know, public school systems have been purging their "DEI hires" too.

Do you know students or employees at any of these schools? Do you have any schools to add?
