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.
