DeSantis removes 4 school board members accused of ‘incompetence and neglect’ after Parkland massacre

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a grand jury up on its recommendation Friday afternoon to remove four Broward School Board members after a scathing report that accused them of having “engaged in acts of incompetence and neglect of duty.”

The removals are effective immediately for the four sitting members: Patricia Good, Donna Korn, Laurie Rich Levinson and Ann Murray. The school board members were notified of their terminations by email Friday.

There was a fifth member who was recommended for removal, but she is no longer on the board: Rosalind Osgood, who resigned in March to successfully run for the state Senate.
