Looks like a Central Florida Boss Hog is having a bad day.
Virtual school probe of Kruppenbacher details charges of questionable spending, 'boorish' comments to women
As the top attorney at the Florida Virtual School, Frank Kruppenbacher used school employees for “excessive” work on his own “outside business activities,” paid his daughter’s boyfriend to investigate a former virtual school executive and likely made “boorish” comments to women in the office, according to a report released Tuesday.
Kruppenbacher, 66, is a well-known lawyer in Central Florida whose clients have included the city of Apopka, Bright House Networks, and the Orange and the Osceola county school boards.
He resigned from his general counsel role at the virtual school on Aug. 12, the same day the school’s board of trustees voted to hire an outside law firm to investigate a dozen complaints against him.
The complaints from employees — none of whom are named — accused Kruppenbacher of making “off-color jokes” and using profanity. The accusations about Kruppenbacher’s use of “boorish and gender-based comments” to women “likely” occurred, the report said. If Kruppenbacher was still an employee, “the appropriate employer action” to the accusations “would be to either discipline or remove the offending employee,” the report said.

If this virtual school is the same one that is used by UCF, I took a class back in 2000 time frame and it was a disaster. It was run by an assistant, we never had contact with the teacher that was being paid by the school and the reading material did not tie in to the test questions. I dropped the class before it affected my GPA. I don't think I was reimbursed for the class.
Glad to see Kruppenbacher is finally getting the attention he deserves.
