Runcie

Runcie attorney Mike Dutko did not immediately return a call Tuesday from The Associated Press seeking comment.

In fact, prosecutors said, Runcie had contacted others about the contract just days before he testified.

The case against former Broward County superintendent Robert Runcie stemmed from questions over his management of a $1 billion bond issue that passed four years before the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High massacre.

Runcie and other bond supporters had said its primary focus would be to improve school safety.

But the grand jurors in their final report accused Runcie and school board members of making “uninformed or even misinformed decisions, incompetent management and lack of meaningful oversight” in the bond’s implementation.
