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!

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.
