A Trial Date Has Been Set For Mom Accused In Tate Homecoming Queen Scandal
September 1, 2022
A trial date has been set for the former school official accused of illegally accessing student information to help her daughter win the Tate High School homecoming queen crown.
Laura Carroll appeared in an Escambia County courtroom Wednesday
Carroll was given eight days to enter into a plea deal. Otherwise, her case is set for trial with jury selection beginning at 8:30 a.m. on September 19.
Carroll, former assistant principal at Bellview Elementary School, and her daughter Emily Rose Grover were charged by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement in March 2021 with one count each of felony offenses against users of computers, computer systems, computer networks, and electronic devices; felony unlawful use of a two-way communications device, felony criminal use of personally identifiable information, and conspiracy to commit these offenses.
In January, Grover entered a pre-trial diversion program that resulted in the charges against her being dismissed in March 2022.

REGARDING:
“@ David Huie Green
I understand those thoughts.
But this thread is not a judgment box.”
The thread is whatever those who post to it intend. Some intend to denounce, some to defend the accused or the accusers. Poor, poor pitiful boys don’t get to be Homecoming Queens…or do they? One never knows. The importance is greater to some than others. Stealing is wrong but even former presidents or their followers don’t always realize that.
David for better people
No matter what your job or position is, everyone gets training on the responsibility of safe guarding login information. This mother had a duty to protect her password. Her daughter violated many students by looking at their records.
I can’t imagine that this woman would risk her career for a fake crown, she is much smarter than that, and a great teacher. I hope that she is found not guilty, because I can’t imagine someone with her intelligence, doing something like this.. I am praying for you Mrs Carroll, hold your head high… the state can accuse you of anything ! You will prevail. This is a waste of taxpayers money..
LOL, folks really get stirred up over a beauty contest at school. get a life people. the embarrassment of getting caught is enough.
No sympathy…. none.
She was a real role model for her child! This is one of the reasons why the new generation is the way they are!
Is this a “crime” worth spending thousands of our tax dollars to convene?
What happened to the presumption of innocence? This extraordinary woman served the families in her community admirably, professionally, and caringly for years. She is someone of great character and I stand and support her. She deserves better than the rush to judgement she is receiving.
Meh.. See far worse criminals get nothing. She at best knew what happened but failed to do anything about it.

I understand those thoughts.
But this thread is not a judgment box.
Morality and ethics concern me on peoples mentality to make morals and ethics obsolete.
You can be above a higher purpose with sentiments as I see on here.
Having an opinion is good.
However any one of these people could never ever be a juror on this case.
You have already formed a uninformed opinion that she is guilty. And deserves more pain…just because they say.
These people would be lieing if they sat on that jury and said they are not biased and have not already formed an opinion.
Some people just desire the attention.
Thanks Dave
I don’t have children in either school. What is so upsetting is this women had a good job, respect of the community, a pretty, healthy daughter and she threw it all away for an Award of Homecoming Queen? An award worth, really nothing. She was suppose to be an example to young people of character, ethics, moral guidance by her position. She, instead taught her daughter how to lie, cheat and steal information to get a Crown? Fortunately the daughter had charges dropped or she would have carried a felony record for life. Children look to their Dads & Moms to teach them right from wrong and blindly follow their teachings. This woman failed her daughter & subjected her to arrest, jail and shame. How tragic.
She will be found not guilty.
REGARDING:
If you are not on the jury,why judge?
To establish community standards:
This is okay because….
This is especially bad because…
I believe she is innocent because…..
She should be forgiven because worse was done by….
Those kinds of thoughts.
Sure, legal judgement without all available pertinent information is wrong and you can judge (separately) those guilty of THAT but we really should let our children and others know what we favor and disfavor lest they be tempted to do it too.
David contemplating those judgmental of those judgmental of those judgmental of those……
If you are not on the jury,why judge?
In fact some thrive on hate.
Their life isnt complete without it.
So much hate on this whole thing.
God forbid having forgiveness.
Thats the real sad part.
I do not have one bit of sympathy for this person at all. In her position at the school she WAS trusted to be professional and she LIED. She also brought her own child into the whole scheme. That should have been child abuse. What she did was criminal and hurt many people. She should have thought about that then but she had delusions of being entitled and made her child feel the same way. She should pay for her crime like everyone else.
A person in a responsible position/role around kids like her should be made an example of….
Lock her up
