(Claire Heddles / Jacksonville Today )

Seven teachers removed for misconduct from a single arts magnet school in just the past 2½ years. A total of 13 who left under a cloud of suspicion and allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior. So what’s the problem at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts? We talk to the reporter behind a yearlong probe into the cascade of sexual misconduct allegations that plagued the school, and why neither the school’s leadership nor the district’s response was able to stem the tide.

  • Megan Mallicoat, education reporter at Jacksonville Today

Then, as Northeast Florida’s housing crisis intensifies, one housing nonprofit is expanding its reach. The newly rebranded Habijax (now First Coast Habitat for Humanity) welcomes a new leader and occupies a broader footprint, now serving Duval, Nassau and Baker counties. We sit down with the organization's chief to discuss how funding uncertainty affects the agency’s work and why community involvement is more critical than ever.

  • Chris Folds, interim CEO, First Coast Habitat for Humanity.

And, Jax Podcasters United partners with WJCT Public Media at the inaugural Jax Podcast Camp on July 31.
