Mom Banned from School Sues

Lawyers for the mother who was banned from volunteering at Sand Lake Elementary School after an anonymous email pointed officials to her OnlyFans page filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Orange County Public Schools.

The lawsuit, filed in Orange County and announced Wednesday, comes after Victoria Triece was told in October 2021 she would no longer be welcome in OCPS’s ADDition volunteer program, which she was a part of for five years.

“It’s never been clarified to me. They never said what I could and couldn’t do,” said Triece, who added she now avoids activities like school sporting events as a precaution. NeJame said he and Zielinski interpret the ban from volunteering as a ban from “any type of school function.”... (Read more)
