The Hard Facts….
• 2011- Broward County had the highest number of school-related arrests in the State of Florida

• Black and Brown males disproportionately affected
• We can’t ignore the facts…We MUST Act!

Myths

• 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.
