Broward County School District moves forward with separation from Runcie, but it may cost taxpayers
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Sooner rather than later. That’s the approach the Broward School Board is taking when it comes to parting ways with Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie and the school district’s general counsel Barbara Myrick.
When it comes to exit pay, it could be costly to taxpayers.
Board member Lori Alhadeff asked about compensation and was told that under state law, the board may have to pay Runcie 20 weeks worth of pay, which, based on his salary, is about $137,000 and $196,000 for accrued sick and vacation time.
