Tamara Grady Resignation of Robert Gerhart Robert Gerhart, chairman of the school board, resigned after numerous citizens took screen shots of his public posts and comments on social media featuring racist and bigoted themes, and demanded his removal. The majority of posts and comments by Gerhart had been made months and years prior. They were discovered after Gerhart proposed, in a school board meeting, that the district could engage armed volunteers to patrol district schools. He'd had the idea, Gerhart said, for "years," but hadn't proposed it until then after, the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, another of many mass school shootings across the country. Gerhart resigned a week and a half later after numerous parents, residents and groups contacted the district with evidence and complaints.
