According to ClickOrlando.com, it wasn’t the only issue parents and teachers had with Dr. McGee, and cheers rang through the crowd when she announced her resignation.
School board chairman Albert Amalfitano said McGee thought she was communicating with Musk months before she wrote the $100,000 check. “That money was supposed to be going to this guy who she thought was Elon Musk, and in exchange, somehow (the) $100,000 (gets) you $6 million,” he said.
