FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - An administrator for the Broward County school district has been suspended for seven days because she showed up for work on Halloween dressed as a flasher.

The Sun Sentinel reports that Broward School Board decided at a meeting Tuesday that 46-year-old Mary Coker’s decision to wear the costume didn’t warrant a demotion from her $154,286-a-year job position as director of procurement and warehouse services.

A complaint filed with the school district said Coker showed up at a school for adult students and at an administrative office party wearing a costume of “only a black coat and hat, with a tight fabric underneath which replicated a naked female body."
