WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A high school principal in Florida who was fired last year after telling a student’s mother “not everyone believes the Holocaust happened” might be rehired this week.
News outlets report that Superintendent Donald Fennoy has recommended that the Palm Beach County school board rehire former Spanish River High School Principal William Latson.
The board is set to meet Wednesday. The recommendation follows a Florida administrative judge’s August ruling that Latson should not have been fired.
The school board voted 5-2 last October to fire Latson on grounds of “ethical misconduct” and “failure to carry out job responsibilities.”
