<\/p>\nJacksonville City Council member Tyrona Clark-Murray, a Duval County Public Schools employee, has been temporarily removed from classroom duty after an incident involving a student, DCPS said May 7.<\/p>\n
Action News Jax reported that Clark-Murray kicked a 13-year-old male student in a program that, according to the district\u2019s website, serves students with \u201cAutism Spectrum Disorder, Intellectual and Emotional Disabilities, Developmental Disabilities, and Speech\/ Language Impairments.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe can confirm (Clark-Murray) has been temporarily reassigned to a role with no student contact pending the outcome of a human resources investigation,\u201d DCPS wrote in a statement. \u201cAs this matter remains under active investigation, no additional information can be provided at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clark-Murray did not respond to requests for comment on May 7 from the Daily Record via email and could not be reached at her listed campaign number.<\/p>\n
Clark-Murray represents Council District 9, which includes West Jacksonville from U.S. 17, to just past Interstate 295 at the district\u2019s eastern border. Elected in a 2022 special election, Clark-Murray was reelected in 2023.<\/p>\n

Kevin Carrico<\/p>\n
In a text, Council President Kevin Carrico called the report \u201cdisturbing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs someone who works with children of all ages day in and day out it\u2019s obviously troubling to read,\u201d Carrico said of the report. \u201cI will reserve judgment and action as council president when I have more facts and a report to review.\u201d<\/p>\n
Action News Jax reported that Clark-Murray kicked the student after he kicked her, and that she self-reported the incident. Action News Jax reported that the student suffered bruises and scratches on his shin, but that his parents declined to press charges.<\/p>\n
Clark-Murray did not refute the allegations in Action News Jax\u2019s reporting but declined to give a comment, the outlet said.<\/p>\n
