A petition to back the affected teachers has gathered over 1,000 signatures.
🏛️ Government
Sanford commissioners debated Monday whether to support the Central Florida Zoo, which rescued 13 sloths from the unopened Sloth World attraction & approved using city funds to buy about 82 student tickets for a summer camp program.
