The Tallahassee Classical School (TCS) has responded to a letter from Superintendent Rocky Hanna which alleges that school is in violation of their charter agreement.
The TCS response is provided below.
Hanna wrote in a letter last week that TCS has only four board members rather than the required five. Hanna indicated that this violation is grounds for potential termination of the charter agreement with LCS.
However, in a letter sent by TCS Board Chair Barney Bishop to Hanna, Bishop states that Florida law only requires the school have three governing board members. In addition, Bishop states the TCS bylaws indicate that the governing board shall have between three and eleven board members.
Bishop also noted that LCS’s communication with TCS has not followed the requirements detailed in the charter agreement.
In a previous media report, Leon County Schools Spokesperson Chris Petley said that, “We sent an email back in January to their principal informing them that they have gone below their required number of board members, which is five, Petley said. “And we asked for some correspondence from them in January and we did not receive any.”
However, Bishop points out in his letter that the charter requires that all communication from LCS be sent to the board chair of the governing body, not the principal. Bishop notes he was not made aware of any communications sent from LCS to the former principal of the school.
Bishop concludes his letter with a request to meet with Superintendent Hanna as allowed for under the dispute/resolution language in the Charter agreement between LCS and TCS.

Regardless what the law says TCS has a contract with LCS that says 5 Although TCS is not violating the law they do violate the LCS contract
Looks like the Leon County Public Indoctrination System Stupidintendant engaged in a classic Marxicrat operation… “Invent the Shark; Feed the Shark; Jump the Shark”… and got bitz slapped.
Meant “Bishop vs. Hanna” below.
Rocky vs. Hanna:
Alot like Perry Mason vs. Cousin Vinny.
Pretty obvious now who put the false narrative in the ear of Superwoke Ana.
Hope Esq. Lawson files an FOI request for all online correspondence between Rocky and the Fake Newsocrat.
“”Chris Petley said that, “We sent an email back in January to their principal informing them that they have gone below their required number of board members, which is five, Petley said.””
@ Mr. Petley, WHY would you send a Letter to the Principal about a Board Issue when the Principal is NOT on the Board or makes those kinds of decisions? Seriously, WHY? I am beginning to think that this IS that Charter that Hanna and the Board originally rejected the Charter until the Lawyers got involved so not the LCS Board is looking for anything to cancel this Charter. .
Rocky — if you’re going to start a fight, at least know the rules by which the event will be held.
Slapping the biggest guy in the bar gets you noticed. So do the bruises and stitches that follow.
TCS bylaws don’t matter. State and local laws overrule and bylaws TCS has incorporated for themselves.
True example of a SMACKDOWN! Barney out classed Rocky in no uncertain terms.
Smackdown definition : “A contest or comparison, especially one in which one side is expected to outclass the other.”
Rocky has to he regretting supporting school board member Lawson-Cox in the most recent election. Another punch landed after her brother, Alan Lawson, has been hired by Classical to fight the school district. I am hoping a Cox Superintendent run is in the near future.
And therein lies the problem… It stops at the top to inevitably be held accountable.
Bye bye Rocky…
LCS needs to be very careful because this is starting to look a lot like anti-Charter School bias and baseless harassment, which ventures into litigious territory.
And Bam. Attempting to take out the school LCS never wanted to open; on inaccuracies on Hannas part. Not following protocol accusing TSC of this. I personally love the school. Son has been there from day 1 as a kindergartener. I get compliments on his ability to speak intellectually. And on his behavior. He has challenges; but the school exceeds what LCS ever did (with my now graduated) 3 older children. They go above and beyond and interventions even with out a 504 allow him to succeed making As and Bs. Cudos to the school board for fighting for this school.
Sounds like Rocky needs some more Constitutional Notices and Affidavits
…and in this corner Rocky starts this fight of the century by coming out with an illegal below the belt punch that has Barney “The Champ” momentarly stunned by the painful illegal blow….Barney “The Champ” responds with a nose splattering carefully written reply which has Rocky down on the canvas with his face looking like 3 pounds of fresh ground round. One…Two…Three…ding ding another TKO for Barney “The Champ”!!!
