Just a month after a new statewide grand jury report blasted the Duval County Public Schools Police Department for outright fraud and underreporting incident and crime numbers to make a better impression, the director has tendered his resignation.
Micheal Edwards, executive director of the department, is now replaced by Assistant Chief Wayne Clark Sr. as acting director effective immediately, according to a brief statement from the district. A national employment search will be conducted to select the next executive director.
The resignation appears to have caught some district officials by surprise. I am not aware of his motivation for resigning at this time, School Board Chairwoman Elizabeth Andersen said when contacted Monday afternoon.
