JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 Jacksonville City Councilwoman Tyrona Clark-Murray refused to answer questions from News4JAX Tuesday night, after Duval County Schools reassigned her to a non-student role<\/a> amid an ongoing HR investigation.<\/p>\n

Clark-Murray, who is employed as an ESE site coach at DuPont Middle School, appeared at Tuesday\u2019s council meeting. <\/p>\n

She was removed from her classroom last Thursday while Duval County Public School officials investigated. No updates in the investigation have been released.<\/p>\n

We attempted to speak with Clark-Murray multiple times throughout the evening \u2014 first during a pre-council meeting, then between sessions, and again after the council meeting ended.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told you earlier no, that I can\u2019t comment on the investigation, you know that, your producers know that, your bosses know that,\u201d Clark-Murray said when pressed for comment at the end of the night.<\/p>\n

Despite the ongoing investigation, Clark-Murray appeared engaged during the meeting and was actively involved in council business. Several members of the public also spoke in support of her during the public comment period.<\/p>\n

Councilman Matt Carlucci, who had previously voiced his support, reaffirmed his confidence in Clark-Murray Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know what happened, but I have not witnessed anything from her except compassion with her constituents and reason and trying to do what\u2019s right,\u201d Carlucci said. \u201cI think she is so honest and such a good, decent person that I\u2019m all for her being up here and continuing her job. Look, we all mess up. We all step in our own set of landmines and we don\u2019t know what happens. So I like her and I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll come out of this just fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Council President Kevin Carrico told News4JAX last week that only a criminal charge would trigger a removal from office \u2014 a decision that would rest solely with Gov. Ron DeSantis. As of Tuesday, Clark-Murray has not been criminally charged.<\/p>\n

News4JAX has active public records requests filed with Duval County Schools seeking the incident report and Clark-Murray\u2019s personnel records. Those requests are pending.<\/p>\n
