41. Florida Department Of Juvenile Justice Funding Youth Offenders Have alternative to Court. for Public and Social Policy at FloridaGulf Coast envisions restorative justice spreading to county schools also. http://www.djj.state.fl.us/djj/MediaRelease/inthenews/020204 NAB.html

DJJ Home Contact Us Contents Youth Offenders Have Alternative to Court By CHRISTIAN CZERWINSKI Staff Writer 02/02/04 Instead of marching straight to court, some youth offenders now have a choice. They can opt to face five members of the community at the Charlotte County Neighborhood Accountability Board. There, the youths, who are all under 18 and who've already admitted their guilt explain their crime and hear the victim's take. The board after hearing both sides divvies out the punishment. It doesn't include any jail time. But it's not a slap on the wrist either. The punishment is determined by the board and the victim. In essence, power shifts back to the community. "There is a need for diversion programs here. The exciting thing about it is the board powers the community and provides accountability for the offender. It also gives the victim a voice in the justice process," said Sandra O'Brien, director of the Center for Public and Social Policy at Florida Gulf Coast University. O'Brien helped spearhead the effort to bring the program to the county. The first board convened Jan. 26 and heard two cases. The next board meets at 5 p.m. Wednesday at the United Way; the meeting is not open to the public.

The University Of Florida Police Department - Safety Tips - School Safety rumors *peer groups *increasing alternative programs requiring danger and potentialviolence in our schools. contact the University of florida Police Department http://www.police.ufl.edu/csd/community_safetytips_schoolsafety.htm

SCHOOL SAFETY Violence and crime are increasingly a concern for every community, and our schools are not immune. Statistics show that violence in our communities, especially among youth, does appear to have increased. School shootings have left many with the impression our classrooms are danger zones although schools are often the safest places in the community. When violence does occur at school, it impacts students' and their ability to learn, the staff's ability to teach and discipline students as well their willingness to stay in the profession. Finally it affects parents' and the community's confidence in the schools. *Rape, robbery and assault are about twice as likely to occur in or around the home than in school (23.3 percent home related, 12.1 percent school related in 1993). *In 1990, 10,565 deaths were due to gunshots; 71 occurred in schools. *The Los Angeles city homicide rate between the academic years of 1992 and 1993 was 29.30 per 100,000 persons; the rate for the city's public schools during the same time period was 0.12 per 100,000. *In 1991, the city of Houston had a homicide rate of 366.5 per 100,000 persons; schools had a homicide rate of 0.71 per 100,000 students.

Pocket Constitution Email Updates Cato Audio Cato Store ... El Cato A Practical Guide to Legislating 'True Private Choice' by Marie E. Gryphon April 1, 2003 Marie E. Gryphon, an attorney, is an education policy analyst with the Cato Institute in Washington, DC. Although the Supreme Court's June 2002 decision in Zelman v. Simmons-Harris , holding that school choice is constitutional, sparked strong interest in choice programs across the nation, it did not automatically provide additional educational options to families that might need them. Most importantly, the Court's clarification of the five elements of "true private choice" establishes a set of rules for crafting school choice legislation, providing reformers with a practical guide to expanding educational freedom. According to Institute for Justice attorney Clint Bolick, the Zelman decision opens the door for a revolutionary change in U.S. education. "It now seems entirely permissible for the government to adopt a program in which all education funding is channeled through studentsto public and private schools alike," he said. "The decision could help usher in an era of child-centered public education reform ... focusing less on where children are being educated and more on whether children are being educated."

Throughout the United States, public school alternative education programs vary, depending on individual program objectives, goals and scope of program implementation. These pages were assembled as a research tool for policymakers interested in learning more about alternative education policy, programs and students. Studies National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) Requires Adobe's Acrobat Reader "The 2001 'District Survey of Alternative Schools and Programs,' conducted NCES through its Fast Response Survey System (FRSS), is the first national study of public alternative schools and programs to provide data on topics related to the availability of public alternative schools and programs, enrollment, staffing, and services. The focus of the study is on alternative schools and programs that serve students who are at risk of educational failure, as indicated by poor grades, truancy, disruptive behavior, suspension, pregnancy, or similar factors associated with early withdrawal from school. The study presents a snapshot of alternative schools and programs for at-risk students during the 2000-01 school year."
