Posted on August 10, 2018

Governor Rick Scott today announced that Florida Department of Children and Families Secretary Mike Carroll is leaving the agency effective September 6, 2018. Secretary Carroll has served at DCF and its predecessor Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services since January 1990. Carroll is the longest serving DCF secretary in the department’s history. More details on future department leadership will be announced soon.

Governor Scott said, “Mike embodies the ideals and mission of the Department of Children and Families and has devoted nearly three decades to improve and change the lives of Florida’s vulnerable children and families.
