FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Robert Runcie, whose tenure as superintendent of Broward Schools included the Parkland tragedy and a grand jury indictment, now oversees a national group of school leaders and a project of a million dollars to improve school safety across the country.

Runcie is the acting head of Chiefs for Change, a Washington, D.C.-based education advocacy group made up of approximately 50 district superintendents and state education chiefs. The group was part of a school reform organization founded by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
