Sarasota School Board Faces Controversy Over Member's Resignation

The Sarasota School Board is set to vote on a resolution urging board member Bridget Ziegler to resign due to her husband being the subject of a police investigation for sexual assault. Ziegler, a co-founder of the far-right group Moms for Liberty, has faced calls for resignation from school board members, community leaders, and advocacy groups. The resolution highlights the distraction caused by Ziegler's presence and her alleged hypocrisy. The public comment period will follow the vote, and a large turnout is expected. The school board does not have the power to force Ziegler out, as only the governor can remove her through an executive order.
