Parkland shooter always in trouble, never expelled. Could school system have done more?

Parkland shooter always in trouble, never expelled. Could school system have done more?

At times, Nikolas Cruz’s behavior could be a school administrator’s nightmare: Teachers and other students said he kicked doors, cursed at teachers, fought with and threatened classmates and brought a backpack with bullets to school. He collected a string of discipline for profanity, disobedience, insubordination, and disruption.
In 2014, administrators transferred Cruz to an alternative school for children with emotional and behavioral disabilities — only to change course two years later and return him to a traditional neighborhood school, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Cruz was banished from Douglas a year later for other disciplinary violations — then toggled between three other alternative placements, school records obtained by the Miami Herald show.
If the frequent transfers — records show there were six in three years — did little to stanch Cruz’s disruptive behavior, they eventually became the only option left in the school district’s toolbox. Contrary to early reports, Cruz was never expelled from Broward schools. Legally, he couldn’t be. . . . .

Funny how no one seems to be interested in asking the sheriff about the program to reduce minority juvenile arrests, you know, after 39 trips to a guy named Cruz's house with not one lasting record of any of them to show up on a background check
Instead the a-hole gets to run roughshod wailing about guns.

School after 8th grade should be a privilege. If kids don’t want to act appropriately, kick them out.

The school district was more interested in publishing phony statistics to make themselves look better instead of actually helping students. They bear a large portion of the responsibility.

The school could have had armed teachers and exterminated that scum before 17 children in their care were murdered.

This is an interesting article with links showing how Broward Counthy was specifically not reporting school crime to make their statistics look better.

Students who engaged in violence, drug sales, robberies, burglaries, theft and other various crimes were intentionally kept out of the criminal justice system. County administrators and School Superintendents told local and county law enforcement officers to stop arresting students. 2013 […] Broward, the nation’s seventh largest district, had the highest number of school-related arrests in Florida in the 2011-2012 school year, according to state data. Seventy-one percent of the 1,062 arrests made were for misdemeanor offenses. (more) Unfortunately, the school board mandated policies came into conflict with law and order. The problem of the conflicted policy -vs- legality worsened over time as the police excused much more than misdemeanor crimes. Over time this culminated in police officers falsifying documents, hiding criminal activity, lying on official police reports and even hiding stolen merchandise police retrieved from high school students.

Usually, the school’s hands are tied by some stupid policy to reduce expulsion rates.

This is gonna cost Broward Co a ton of money, most likely the county will get sued for 100s of millions of dollars.
Just one arrest possibly would have showed up on his background check and he would have been denied the weapon purchase. He could have easily bought a rifle on the black market too.
The were multiple warning signs on this creep.
Too late, many life's are lost, the scars of the family members and other victims will be forever burned into their hearts.

Someone started a thread earlier in the week discussing the Obama administrations order to purposefully reduce reporting these types of things due to minority status.
I researched it all and it appears to be true.
The media will never touch this. PC will destroy us from within. PC is another topic I truly believe our enemies abroad just absolutely love. The useful idiots are destroying us from within slowly but surely. This is yet another example.

Yes. If you do some digging you will find the school Trayvon Martin went to, hid the fact that he had a bag of stolen jewelry and burglar tools in his school locker. The contents of the bag matched police reports of stolen items from a burglary near his home. But the school didn't want to report ANY crimes to keep the statistics down. Same reason that ahole who shot 17 kids was suspended many times but the police never followed up because they were not filing police reports under the same program to make the stats look better. Liberal press will not touch that.

This, x 1,000%.
School systems get hammered by the state if their graduation rate dips. Not surprising, schools will do anything to be able to put a diploma in students' hands. Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth chances to make up credits, requiring a fraction of the work originally required.
Unfortunately, at the state department level, you have bureaucrats with perhaps six months of experience actually in the classroom.
