Broward School Police Investigator Spied On Email From Principal To Wife

The teacher that Broward School Superintendent Robert Runcie promoted to a police investigator snooped on a principal’s email to his wife in real time, an internal audit released this week uncovered.

Jillian Haring, a high school behavior specialist who became a police investigator at Runcie’s insistence, read at least one email in real time from Nova High School Prinicpal John LaCasse to his wife Marta LaCasse.

The LaCasse email was innocuous.  However, the fact that Haring could monitor email as it was sent is an indication of the power that Runcie gave her. The audit finding also corroborates complaints about Haring’s email access that have been circulating through the school system for roughly two years.

Perhaps more chilling is the auditors conclusion that Haring, who lacked the proper training or required clearance, had “full access” to police files including confidential information.

The audit was ostensibly of the Special Investigative Union as the school police are formally known. But the examination of SIU also became another chapter in the strange case of Haring, a story whispered around school water coolers since 2015.
