Superintendent Robert Runcie and the School Board have faced criticism for their handling of policies and the lack of guidance assisted to the shooter.[9] In April 2018, student Kenneth Preston revealed an investigation into an $800 million dollar bond for safety and building projects that the school board had not carried out efficiently.[10] His findings prompted Senator Marco Rubio to request an investigation by both the Departments of Education and Justice.[11]
