Overview
- Students at Viera, Rockledge and Satellite high schools plan Friday walkouts to protest ICE, according to local reports.
- District leaders say the demonstrations are not school-sponsored and warn that leaving class or assigned areas can bring discipline up to suspension.
- Officials add that serious campus disruptions could lead to expulsion under the student code of conduct.
- School Board Chair Matt Susin reported a profanity-laced threatening voicemail, with deputies investigating and patrolling near his home; he says he plans to press charges.
- Florida’s education commissioner told districts that students retain free-expression rights but may be disciplined if protests interrupt instructional time or safety, and critics argue the district’s warning chills student speech.
