HIM. >>> GOOD AFTERNOON THE NEWS STARTS IN JUST ONE MINUTE.
>>> BREAKIC RIGHT NOW A STORY THAT YOU SAW FIRST HERE ON LOCAL 10.
BROWARD SUPERINTENDENT ROBERT
RUNCIE WAS ARRESTED.
>> HE WAS TAKE NON-ON A PERJURY
CHARGE.
LET’S GO TO HATZEL VELA.
WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?
THE SUPERINTENDENT WAS RELEASED
FROM JAIL.
HE WAS ARRESTED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
AND AS YOU MENTIONED, THE
SUPERINTENDENT IS NOW BEING
CHARGED WITH PERJURY.
THAT IS THE CHARGE IN THE CASE.
THIS IS A MUG SHOT TAKE TAKEN OF
THE SUPERINTENDENT.
THIS MEANS HE LIED ABOUT
SOMETHING WHAT THAT WAS WE DON’T
KNOW T IS RELATED TO A
STAYED-WIDE INVESTIGATION INTO
PROBLEMS WITH THE SCHOOLS
CONSTRUCTION BOND ISSUE AND
INVESTIGATING CORRUPTION AND
PAYOFFS IN THAT PROGRAM.
IF YOU’RE NOT FAMILIAR WHAT IT
IS DOING, THAT STATE, THE GRAND
JURY STATE IS EXPECTED TO ISSUE
THE REPORT IN THE COMING WEEKS.
THEY WERE TO HIGHLIGHT THINGS
SINCE THE PARKLAND SHOOTING IN
2018.
IT COULD ADDRESS PUBLIC
CORRUPTION OF SCHOOL
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
AS WE KNOW IT, THE
SUPERINTENDENT HERE ARRESTED
SOME TIME TODAY AND CHARGED WITH
PERJURY.
RELEASED FROM JAILED AN HOUR
AGO.
WE’RE WAITING FOR INFORMATION
FROM THE BROWARD SCHOOL DISTRICT
AND ANY NEW INFORMATION WE WILL
PASS IT ALONG.
>> AND ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR THAT.
>>> OUR TEAM COVERAGE IS TURNING
TO THE REPORTER GLENNA MILBERG.
>> WE HAVE REACTION TO THE
SHOCKING ARREST.
TILT MY BE THE WORD.
NO ONE IN THE DISTRICT WAS
AWARE, HAD ANY KIND OF IMAGINE
BEFORE HAND AND EVERYONE FROM IN
THE SCHOOLS, THE BOARD, EVERYONE
IN THE BUILDING, IN FACT THE
PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
WALKED OUT SAID YOU KNOW MORE
THAN WE KNOW AT THIS POINT.
I WANT TO TAKE YOU TO VIDEO OF
THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING WHICH
WAS JUST YESTERDAY.
IN HINDSIGHT, THE CHIEF OF STAFF
WAS IN HIS SEAT.
ROBERT RUNCIE WAS NOT AT THE
REGULAR SCHOOL BOARD MEETING
WHETHER THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO
WITH WHAT HAD TO DO WITH THE
AREST AND EVERYONE INVOLVED IN
THE SCHOOLS FROM THE BOARD AND
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE
TEACHER’S UNION.
EVERYONE SHOCKED.
THEY DON’T WANT TO COMMENT
BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT MORE THAN THE HEADLINES.
WE GOT THIS FROM DEBORAH HIMSON,
WHO IS A PARKLAND FAMILY MEMBER
WHOSE HUSBAND WAS KILLED AND
DEBBIE SAID I LEARNED OF THE
NEWS AND IT IS UNDER LEADERSHIP
OF THE BOARD AND WORK TO THE
BEST INTEREST AND THEY ARE
AFFORDED DUE PROCESS AND THE
SUPERINTENDENT, THE DISTRICT AND
THE FACTS ALONG WITH THE
EMPLOYEE CONTRACT TO SEIZE HOW
WE PROCEED FORWARD.
WE WILL MAKE DECISION WHEN WE
HAVE THE INFORMATION REGARDING
THE SITUATION.
SO, SHE IS PRETTY MUCH HITS THE
NAILED ON THE HEAD, THIS IS A
CRIMINAL PROCEEDING THAT HAS
JUST STARTED, INNOCENT UNTIL
PROVEN GUILTY.
THEN WE HAVE THE ADMINISTRATIVE
PROCESS THAT HAS TO GO ON HERE
WHEN A SUPERINTENDENT THE HEAD
OF THE BOARD IS FACING CRIMINAL
CHARGES.
WE UNDERSTAND THE SUPERINTENDENT
WAS RELEASED ON HIS OWN
RECOGNISANCE AND DIDN’T GO
THROUGH THE BOND PROCESS.
THIS IS JUST THE START.

MORE DETAILS IN THE ARREST.
