Why does Runcie walk away with so much Broward taxpayer money?

Why does Runcie walk away with so much Broward taxpayer money?

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. – Nearly three weeks after Robert Runcie was arrested on a perjury charge, and a day before his scheduled arraignment, taxpayers learned they will be shelling out more than three-quarters of a million dollars to the outgoing Broward County Public Schools superintendent.
The $754,900 total was reached in a mutual separation agreement that the school board approved by a narrow 5-4 vote Tuesday afternoon. Runcie previously had two more years on his contract.
So why is the county on the hook for all that money?
Board chair Dr. Rosalind Osgood noted that the district could have been looking at a payout of $2 million under the first offer from Runcie’s attorney, which would have covered the rest of that contract.

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – With every American 16 and older now eligible for a vaccine nationwide — and half of U.S. adults already receiving at least one COVID-19 shot — the key conversation in battling the pandemic shifts to vaccine hesitancy.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that nearly 19% of people in Miami-Dade are hesitant, while in Broward that figure is almost 20%.
A “strongly hesitant” group is estimated at 9% in both counties.
“Miami-Dade County, Florida
Estimated hesitant: 19.7%

NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, Fla. – One of the newest groups eligible in Florida to receive a COVID-19 vaccine are those 18 or older deemed by a physician to have a high-risk medical condition. Earlier in the week, state planners said that the only form that would be accepted at the FEMA sites where those meeting that requirement would be inoculated required the Department of Health’s Determination of Extreme Vulnerability form.
On a Friday afternoon briefing, a change was announced. While Thursday it was hammered home a doctor’s note on letterhead or prescription from a physician’s pad would not be acceptable — that restriction has now changed and those forms of eligibility will be accepted.

MIAMI – In the wake of the siege on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump was permanently banned from Twitter and blocked on several other social media sites.
Alternative sites like Parler are also being shut down, but according to legal experts, social media bans don’t violate the first amendment.
“It may be unwise to exclude some people from those platforms,” said attorney and medial law professor at Syracuse’s Newhouse School of Public Communications Nina Brown. “The first amendment allows Twitter to decide how it wants to speak.”
