Controversies and grand jury investigation


On February 14th, 2018, a former student opened fire at a Broward school, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and injuring 17 others.


Superintendent Robert Runcie and the School Board have faced criticism for their handling of policies and the lack of guidance assisted to the shooter. Many have called for the Superintendent to be ousted over a diversionary program, PROMISE, that he enacted in Broward County.[7] In April 2018, student Kenneth Preston revealed an investigation into an $800 million dollar bond for safety and building projects that the school board had not carried out efficiently.[8]


On February 13th, 2019, Governor Ron DeSantis made an announcement alongside families of victims killed in the shooting that he had petitioned a statewide grand jury investigation based in Broward County.[9]
