    Oct 22, 2018

    Reacting to cramped and crowded classrooms, a Fivay High School student created a 5-minute video depicting the situation and urging Pasco County communities to "take action." The video, which aired in the school news report and is posted on the school YouTube channel, gets some facts wrong.

It also shows a full classroom with two teachers, indicating a co-teaching arrangement allowed by...

Once there, they were frequently neglected and abused. What happened at the schools was aki...
