Contract with Vermilion Education won't go forward, Sarasota School Board decides
Vermilion would have been a consultant for the school district on a wide-ranging number of issues, including district policies and procedures.
SARASOTA, Fla. — The Sarasota School Board has voted against getting into a contract with Vermillion Education, a firm that would have consulted with the board on a range of school issues.
Tuesday afternoon, dozens of protestors gathered outside the Sarasota County School Board meeting to push back against the proposed hiring of the controversial consulting firm. The protest bled into a passionate school board meeting with more than four hours of public comment.
Ultimately, the board voted 3-2 against the contract with Vermilion. The Vermilion Education partnership was proposed by conservative School Board Chair Bridget Ziegler.

Vermilion was shot down in Sarasota Florida, and now they're trying to infect the school board of Bucks County? Kick over a rock and you'll probably find that cockroach Leonard Leo involved somehow.
Parents and teachers in Bucks County - GOOD ON YOU for fighting this!
