News4JAX asked her about her thoughts on the district’s plan, released on Thursday, to prevent what happened at Douglas Anderson from happening again anywhere in the district.

Former Douglas Anderson student Shyla Jenkins says Clayton was emotionally abusive when she was his student in the early 2000s. Since his arrest, she has been pushing for accountability and change at DCPS., to prevent what happened at Douglas Anderson from happening again anywhere in the district.

The plan lays out six overarching strategies, including improvements in policy, investigation, staff training, and awareness in students and parents of inappropriate adult behavior. “It didn’t tackle the question that we’ve been asking, that I have been in front of the board for a year now saying, What about transparency when this happens? How are parents notified before the news gets a hold of it?” Jenkins said.“This document in section one talks about, you know, how they’re going to be very strategic on how students and teachers interact, which is great.
