An outside law firm will work with the school board and the City’s Office of General Counsel to investigate employment behavior and how DA has handled allegations in the past.
A former student — who asked to remain anonymous — told News4JAX this investigation presents an opportunity for the school’s culture to change.
She said the problem is bigger than Jeffrey Clayton. She described a culture of chumminess between students and teachers that she now sees as inappropriate. She also said the pressure of a competitive arts environment fostered emotional abuse. School district leaders have pledged to do better. Superintendent Dr. Diana Greene announced Friday several steps the district will take.
