Broward County Superintendent Robert Runcie is on his way out after nearly a decade leading the nation's sixth-largest school district.
The Broward County School Board hopes to meet next Thursday to finalize the separation agreements and begin discussions about appointing an interim superintendent.
The Broward County School Board is one step closer to formally cutting ties with Superintendent Robert Runcie and General Counsel Barbara Myrick, as both face felony charges stemming from a statewide grand jury investigation into how school districts are approaching safety and security.
The board voted to empower Chair Rosalind Osgood to negotiate separation deals with Runcie and Myrick, after which the agreements would come before the full board for approval. The board would retain the authority to amend those agreements, but if Runcie and Myrick do not agree to the board's requested changes, the two officials' departures would be further delayed.
