School nurse on leave after posting comments about LGBTQ+ students

A Hartford school nurse has been put on administrative leave after allegedly posting comments about lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning Hartford Public Schools students on social media.

The nurse posted inappropriate comments in a Facebook group, including private and personal details about a specific student, Superintendent Leslie Torres-Rodriguez said in a letter to the Hartford Public Schools community Monday.

“The nurse used a personal social media account; however, the manner in which the comments were shared, and the values they express are totally inconsistent with what we stand for. HPS does not tolerate any language that could be harmful to our community,” Torres-Rodriguez wrote.
