Florida’s capital city superintendent who has been under investigation for his “politically charged statements” and infusing “personal views” into his administration of the school district has settled with the state’s education agency.

Leon County Schools’ Rocky Hanna reached an agreement with the Florida Department of Education and will receive a reprimand, according to a settlement agreement from the State of Florida Education Practices Commission.
