Broward County School Superintendent Robert Runcie Arrested for Perjury During Questioning About “Promise Program”

This is actually one of those small stories with very BIG potential. Broward County School Superintendent Robert Runcie was arrested this morning, oficially charged with perjury. Broward School Board attorney Barbara Myrick was also arrested. According to local news {LINK} Runcie gave testimony about how official school district programs were being implemented (aka “The Promise Program“) and whether any of the financial incentives were used by district officials for personal gain.

The details are vague as the media reporting on the arrest are slight. The backstory is something CTH has some strong information about due to years of research into Miami-Dade and Broward County school systems – going all the way back to Trayvon Martin and the corrupt internal school administration practices we helped expose.   First, the current events:

FLORIDA – […] Runcie, 59, was taken into custody by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and has since been released from the Broward County Main Jail. According to his indictment, Runcie lied under oath between the dates of March_31-April_1 while testifying under oath to a state grand jury.

The grand jury was investigating the following, according to the indictment:

• Whether refusal or failure to follow the mandates of school-related safety laws, such as the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Act, results in unnecessary and avoidable risk to students across the state
• Whether public entities committed and continue to commit fraud and deceit by accepting state funds conditioned on implementation of certain safety measures while knowingly failing to act.
• Whether school officials committed and continue to commit fraud and deceit by mismanaging, failing to use, and diverting funds from multimillion dollar bonds specifically solicited for school safety initiatives; and
• Whether school officials violated and continue to violate systematically underreporting incidents of criminal activity to the Department of Education.

Broward County? Remember "Crippled chad and hanging chad"?

Remember the "Promise Program" where this Superintendent and the Local Sheriff avoided arresting students for serious crimes to get Federal Grants for this pilot program that went nation wide under Obama?

And the result of not reporting?

While Sheriff Israel and Superintendent Runcie were garnering praise for the results of their program, Parkland school student Nikolas Cruz was a simultaneous benefactor as his anti-social and violent behaviors were being ignored.

This is a simple cause and effect.  There are no mistakes being made here.  This is entirely by design; as author Jack Cashill noted, this is not “incompetence“, it’s strategic. The fact that Nikolas Cruz was able to exit high school without a police record, then began amassing weapons, and eventually became a school shooter killing 17 students and staff; is an outcome of strategic policy, not incompetence.

----

Result? 17 Students Dead in the Parkland School shooting. And Obama took the program national.

Yes, Broward County is a totally corrupt center of #ComDem_Insanity!

Forget it Jake, it’s Broward County.

The Democrats and school systems need a pipeline to push the troubled future headline stars through.

[OttawaFreeper]

These two should have been marched into jail cells that good while ago by now.

[Texas Fossil]

And Obama was also complicit. He was close friend to Runcie. (from Chicago) He took Runcie’s program national.

Needs to be a sewer pipe. Flush them.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, your skepticism is warranted. It is the #ComDem_Way, they protect their own criminals.

[Texas Fossil]

Agree.

Do Nothing Broward Sheriff Israel with Cong Debbie W/S......she is a Broward resident.

It is common for a Congressman to secure federal monies for their district.

<><> What part did D/W/S play in securing the $58 million bribes, er, I mean tax dollars Obama showered on Broward for keeping minorities off the arrest roles?

<><> The troubled Cruz was visited by Broward police some 47 times before the massacre.

<><> Where are the police reports of L/E's 47 visits?

<><>Did D/W/S have any nice things to say about Cruz BEFORE he massacred students and faculty?

<><> Did D/W/S have a hand in keeping Cruz off the arrest records so Broward could cash in?

<><> Can the imbecile Sheriff and the Congressional beast from Broward account for all of Obama's $58 million?

<><> The good-for-nothing Sheriff also had a $800M L/E budget. Can the bozo account for all that money??

"Your cut of the Broward money is in a numbered account in an offshore French Polynesian bank, my President."
