Cone, 51, faces three misdemeanor counts of a violation of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission rule.
“This is a personal matter involving a citation issued by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission as a result of a misdemeanor allegation,” district spokeswoman Daisy Gonzalez-Diego said. “This individual has had an unblemished record during his 28-year tenure with Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
