"According to Hillsborough County School's spokesperson Linda Cobbe, the school district's professional standards department "will not enforce any discipline."

Want to talk double standard?

"It's a misdemeanor and it didn't involve any students," Cobbe said.

Blackwell's future at Freedom is likely to lie in the hands of Freedom principal Chris Farkas, Cobbe said. Blackwell, an in-school suspension instructor, is a temporary employee of the school district, meaning he is working with a one-year contract.

"It's up to the principal," Cobbe said. "They can renew the contract for another year, make him permanent or not rehire him at all."

"When reached Monday morning, Farkas declined to speculate about Blackwell's future."

Perhaps Bart should have showed up dressed as a coach and pleaded "drunk" when talking to unProfessional Standards.

Not really but I'm sure you get the point.

How interesting. I don’t think the district has any guidelines for behavioral lapses at all. I think they fly by the seat of their pants and make up rules on the fly. The only thing that gets you fired is if you have a blog. lee
