JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier says his office is investigating a Duval County School Board residency issue involving Board Member Darryl Willie.
Uthmeier responded to a request from the Duval County Young Republicans to investigate and analyze the laws after they claimed Willie changed his address and that the new address falls outside his district’s boundaries.

In a post on X, Uthmeier wrote: “We are investigating! Thanks for bringing this to our attention.”
The request cited public discussion in Duval County about how residency rules apply when district boundaries are altered during an incumbent’s term. The letter asks for guidance on how Florida’s residency requirements should be interpreted for district-elected school board members following redistricting.
News4JAX Anchor/Reporter Scott Johnson reached out to Willie for comment.
Willie shared this statement:
“Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland has already clarified this matter, which I appreciate. My focus remains on serving the students, families, educators, and taxpayers of Duval County. I look forward to serving out the last few months of my term as the District 4 School Board Member and continuing to work on behalf of the community that entrusted me with this responsibility.”
