Clark-Murray and school district officials have withheld comment while discipline against her was pending, but in May, Action News Jax quoted unnamed sources saying she had self-reported kicking 13-year-old student enrolled in a program for kids with autism or emotional disabilities.

That report said Clark-Murray told

school district police the student kicked her first and she kicked back to stop him. Duval County court records don’t reflect any criminal charges.

Clark-Murray’s council webpage says she has been educating Duval County students since 1993. She has been a council member since 2022.
