State prosecutors issued a subpoena last month to Interim Superintendent Earlean Smiley asking for emails and text messages of four district administrators related to a recent School Board action that approved the use of federal money for employee bonuses.
The South Florida Sun Sentinel raised questions about why the School Board was holding closed-door security meetings on topics such as clear backpacks and school uniforms, when state law generally limits discussions to matters that could pose a danger if they were discussed in public.
The School Board of Broward County is moving to the final round of its search to fill the superintendent position with three candidates, leaving popular in-house applicant Valerie Wanza out.
