A grand jury empaneled after the 2018 Parkland school massacre has recommended that Gov. Ron DeSantis remove from office four members of the Broward County school board, saying they and district administrators displayed "deceit, malfeasance, misfeasance, neglect of duty and incompetence" in their handling of a campus safety program.

In the 122-page report released Friday, the panel recommended that DeSantis suspend board members Patricia Good, Donna Korn, Ann Murray and Laurie Rich Levinson. A former member, Rosalind Osgood, was also targeted, but she is now elected to the Florida Senate.

Levinson, the board's chairwoman, angrily slammed the report as a "political hatchet job" orchestrated by the governor.
