Abstract

Arresting Development: Addressing the School Discipline Crisis in Florida reveals the findings of these public hearings, which were held in five cities and covered six school districts: Pinellas/Hillsborough (St. Petersburg, FL), Duval (Jacksonville, FL), Palm Beach (West Palm Beach, FL), Broward (Fort Lauderdale, FL), and Miami-Dade (Miami, FL). This report is intended to document the compelling and informative discussions that occurred among the hundreds of hearing participants—parents, students, teachers, school administrators and juvenile justice personnel—and to serve as a catalyst for both statewide and local reform of Florida’s school discipline crisis.
