Ron DeSantis on Friday suspended four Broward County School Board members for engaging in what the governor described as “incompetence, neglect of duty, and misuse of authority.” He said the decision is in response to findings of a statewide grand jury that was tasked with investigating the Broward School Board’s response to the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting that left 17 students and staff dead and 17 injured.

State Sen. Rosalind Osgood, D-Tamarac, a former School Board member, made her feelings loud and clear.

“At the end of the day, he is going to have to wrestle with his decision to make sure he can sleep at night,” Osgood said of DeSantis.
