(The AEGIS Alliance) – An assistant principal along with her daughter was apprehended and also charged with unlawfully accessing students’ computer system accounts at a Florida high school to rig the homecoming queen votes, authorities stated.

Carroll’s daughter was crowned the homecoming queen at Pensacola’s Tate High School in 2020 prior to the fraudulent activity being uncovered.
