BREAKING: School Board Chair Matt Susin has called a special meeting for 9 a.m. Tuesday to shield the superintendent who just quit on Brevard Public Schools in the middle of the school year among pending investigations.History repeating itself with Dr. Rendell.On Oct. 27, the School Board rated Mark Rendell 93.96 percent and handed him a $10,000 bonus. Nine days later, Eastern Florida State College announced he was leaving his over $300k job to take a vice president job that was never advertised. There is no public record he gave the board the notice his contract requires before he went looking. There's already a regular board meeting scheduled where this could have been added to the agenda but that meeting will also include the newly elected board members. Susin has called this meeting BEFORE the new board members are sworn in.Now Susin wants the board to vote on a “Mutual Separation Agreement” that waives Rendell’s 90 days of notice, pays out his unused leave, keeps the district on the hook for his legal bills, and releases him from every claim, “known or unknown.” The Rocket has been told the document was largely copied from the agreement the board gave Mark Mullins when it fired him without cause, with the 20 weeks of severance removed. Mullins was fired. Rendell quit. He is getting the same protection.He is walking out with the Riviera Elementary death still under investigation, a state reporting inquiry into three district employees (including Gene Trent) still pending, no chief financial officer, a $100 million short-term loan, a $79 million budget cut, and 7 percent staffing cuts he ordered himself.If that sounds familiar, it should. In 2019, Rendell was at odds with the Indian River County School Board over district finances and his contract. He quietly lined up a job as a principal at Cocoa Beach without telling his board, and a loyal member tried to rush through his exit terms. That board said no. He left anyway.Same playbook. Different county. Same financial questions left behind.The special meeting is 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, at the Educational Services Facility in Viera. Show up and ask the board one question: who does this agreement serve, the students or the man who quit?Read the full article for the contract language, the agreement, and the records: thespacecoastrocket.com/brevard-school-board-rendell-separation-agreement-vote/#BrevardSchools #SpaceCoastRocket #BrevardCounty ...

As you can imagine, many families in Brevard, including our own, have lost their homes and property in this flood, and some have lost their lives.At The Space Coast Rocket, we have a very strict policy on sharing fundraisers and GoFundMe campaigns because of how often fraud and other problems come up with them. We go through a vetting process before we share any fundraiser.Since the flood, we have received literally hundreds of requests to share fundraisers for victims. We understand people are hurting and desperate, and we want to help in every way we can. But it is not practical for us to share every single fundraiser we are sent.What we will do is let people share their links in the comments of this post, which we will pin to the top of our Facebook page. We cannot guarantee that anything shared here is legitimate. We are doing this so people have a chance to reach out to our followers, who have helped so many in the past.If you see a link here that looks suspicious or that you know is ill-intended, please let us know and we will deal with it.Thank you.#BrevardStrong #spacecoastflood #brevardcounty ...
