The Hard Facts….
• 2011- Broward County had the highest number of school-related arrests in the State of Florida
• Broward County Public Schools is a major contributor to the school to prison pipeline in Florida
• Black and Brown males disproportionately affected
• We can’t ignore the facts…We MUST Act!
12
Myths • Schools must implement harsh, zero tolerance, “tough on crime” approaches in order to best protect students from harm and keep schools safe.
• Police engagement is the most effective means ofpreventing school violence and making the schoolenvironment safe.
• Only the most dangerous students end up incourt as the result of incidents at school.
• Students who are arrested at school or referred tocourt from school receive needed services from a non-punitive juvenile system.
13
BCPS Efforts to Address the Issue• District’s Discipline Vision & Mission• Eliminate the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Pipeline
Collaborative Role of Police, Courts, Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, NAACP, Public Defenders Office and State Attorneys Office Collaborative Role of Parents & Community
• Engagement of parent & Community, BTU, BPAA
• Proposed Memorandum of Understanding Between The School District, law enforcement, and others
• Policy Changes
