Broward schools operations chief to resign following construction, office rental debacles

Wanda Paul, the Broward schools official overseeing construction and operations for the district, submitted her resignation late Sunday, hours after a school board member demanded leadership changes amidst two controversies.

Paul sent a resignation letter to Superintendent Howard Hepburn Sunday evening, saying she would step down as chief operations officer. Earlier in the day, School Board member Adam Cervera posted a statement on X that cited “operational failures” related to a canceled office lease agreement and a failed effort to secure a company to oversee more than $1 billion in school district construction, the latter of which is causing the district to take emergency actions to manage the construction work.

Cervera called for Paul’s “immediate resignation.”
