Social media posts of a Florida school administrator dressed as a flasher at what appears to be a Halloween office party with children in the room have surfaced, landing the official in trouble.
Mary Catherine Coker of the Broward County Public Schools appears alongside other costumed adults wearing a hat, sunglasses and a woman’s nude body suit underneath a dark trench coat in images and videos posted November 1 on Facebook.
Coker, who is the district’s director of procurement and warehousing services, at one point flashes the crowd, getting laughs in return.

The school district, however, wasn’t impressed by the post made by MyBlackBroward.com, reports the Bradenton Herald.
A spokeswoman for the seventh largest school district in the US told the news outlet that Coker was put on notice.
The spokeswoman said the district was following up with Coker under its corrective action policy, which says ‘Employees are expected to comply with workplace policies, procedures and regulations; local, state, and federal laws; and State Board Rules, both in and out of the workplace’.
No specifics were release about what was going to happen to Coker, 46, who makes about $150000 a year and is among the highest paid officials in the district, Bradenton Herald reports.
‘Our office is not able to provide additional information at this time’, the spokeswoman wrote to the news outlet.
The spokeswoman did not immediately respond when DailyMail.com reached out Friday.
Reached by phone, Coker said she ‘wouldn’t elaborate’ on whether the photo was taken at work, Bradenton Herald reports.
‘It’s only been posted on one website. There have been no complaints,’ she said. ‘It’s been posted on one single website that has maybe four comments or seven.’
Coker noted she was in a staff meeting with about 50 people and would provide more information later.
She did not immediately return a call from DailyMail.com.
The administrator speaks to the crowd in one of two videos of the costume incident.
‘I understand and respect that some people don’t celebrate Halloween, and that’s perfectly fine’, she says. ‘It’s more of a, you know, just dress up as whatever’.
She adds, ‘It’s come together and have a good time, and you know, look at me’, as the crowd laughs.
The video ends with a costume contest, which Coker does not win.
