The Duval County School Board will meet Thursday to discuss a grand jury’s bombshell report accusing the former district police chief of failing to report thousands of crimes on school campuses.

The board will discuss the report during a workshop, and it gives the board an opportunity to ask questions.

The report outlines an institutional system of officers being told not to report crime on campuses and to essentially “un-arrest” students during Edwards’ tenure as department chief. The report concluded that Edwards should be charged with solicitation of official misconduct and official misconduct, both felonies, and falsifying records, a misdemeanor.

The new grand jury report correctly states that we self-reported to the state when we discovered the errors in our 2018 SESIR reporting data. It should be clear to families and the community that we:- Requested that the FLDOE Office of Safe Schools review our policies and procedures to ensure compliance with state law. That joint review was conducted earlier this year.

Funny thing… with the new makeup of our school board, this money won’t stop the exodus of good teachers. Unfortunately, things will get much worse for Duval students, teachers, and the community at large. FL school boards are full of unserious people. Brace up, Jacksonville.
