Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie was arrested on a perjury charge Wednesday.
Runcie, 59, was arrested by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement on a felony charge of perjury in an official proceeding, Broward County jail records showed.
Runcie was booked into jail and released on his own recognizance. Attorney information wasn't available.
FDLE officials said the charge against Runcie is related to his testimony before a statewide grand jury that was empaneled to investigate possible failures in following school-related safety laws and mismanaging funds solicited for school safety initiatives.
The grand jury was empaneled following the Feb. 14, 2018, shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that took the lives of 17 students and staff.
FDLE officials said Broward County School Board General Counsel Barbara Myrick was also arrested Wednesday as part of the investigation.
