FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The members of the School Board of Broward County are preparing to meet on Tuesday to discuss Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie’s situation, as he faces a perjury charge related to a public corruption case.
Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers arrested Runcie, 59, on Wednesday. Investigators accused Runcie of lying to a state grand jury while testifying under oath on March 31 and April 1.
Runcie is facing a charge of perjury in an official proceeding. On Monday, the state responded to Runcie’s motion to dismiss the case accusing him of lying about his conversations with witnesses in Anthony Hunter’s case.
