Duval County School Board members are thinking about sending a letter to Superintendent Nicolai Vitti.

Several Duval County School Board members are considering signing a letter to Duval Superintendent Nikolai Vitti chastising him for a “persistent lack of respect” when talking to them.

The board held a development meeting Tuesday night to discuss a draft of the letter and how to go about circulating it for any board member to sign. Their meeting was held an hour before the regular public meeting.

Board member Constance Hall drafted the letter, which refers to an Oct. 13 board meeting at which Vitti clashed with Hall and board member Paula Wright.

Times-Union reporter Denise Amos and WJCT reporter Lindsey Kilbride have been following the story and join us in studio to discuss the ongoing issue.
