We're hearing from a school board member not only on the sudden resignation of superintendent Ed Pratt Dannals but on $100 million dollars that sat untouched in the district's rainy day fund while massive spending cuts were made over the summer and fall to programs like JROTC, athletics, and several teaching and administrative position.

Tommy Hazouri tells Jacksonville's Morning News that Pratt Dannals helped move through the transition, but says the board agreed it was the right time to move forward.  And as for that extra hundred million?  Hazouri says that had nothing to do with Pratt Dannals.

 "This had absolutley nothing to do with his termination or our request to ask him to agree with us that it's time to move on."

Hazouri says the accountants for the district "talk in their terms" and did not make it very clear to board members exactly how much money was in that reserve fund.  

"We have a fiduciary responsibility to be transparent to the public and they have one to be to us."

That hundred million sat in their coffers while the district made nearly 91 million in cuts.
