School Reportedly Isolates Black Students at Assembly, Tries to Bribe With Gift Cards

A Flagler County, Florida, elementary school singled out numerous Black students and forced them to attend an assembly on improving their standardized test scores, as confirmed by the district’s interim superintendent.

FOX 35 in Orlando reported that last Friday, students in grades four and five were taken out of class to attend an assembly in the Bunnell Elementary School cafeteria, as learned by several parents.

The students who performed well on the standardized tests were reportedly brought to the front of the assembly and used as model examples as teachers discussed the test scores and offered gift cards to restaurants as rewards for improving their scores.

The news station received confirmation from Cheryl Massaro, the Flagler County Schools board chair, that Black students were “isolated” for the assembly. She told the station the assembly should have never happened, though it did.

Interim Superintendent Lashakia Moore issued a statement on the district’s website about the assembly, saying she sat down with Bunnell Elementary Principal Donelle Evensen after the assembly and discussed what led to the presentation and what steps were, or were not, taken before and after.
