Late update: The superintendent and sheriff called a press conference at 5:15 pm. The elected board was not invited or consulted as a group. I found out about it from media and attended. All that said, I was pleased with the press conference. The superintendent made it clear that nobody in Polk County is going to punish any of our people for Monday. The superintendent struck the right tone of support for our people. The public needed to hear that the unelected district staff and sheriff say with confidence that they have coverage in the schools tomorrow. My son will be in school tomorrow; and I feel comfortable being in Tallahassee while knowing that.
