Plan to boost schools unveiled
Broward
County Schools officials have unveiled an ambitious plan for the
district’s worst-performing schools. The proposals were unveiled to Fort
Lauderdale residents Monday night in the first of two meetings with
residents. The schools, all in District 5, each have a 10-year history
of low academic achievement.
Palm Beach County schools to spend about $400,000 on school police aides this year; bigger expenses loom next year
The
Palm Beach County School District will spend about $400,000 to add
about 30 school police aides to increase security at schools, a top
administrator said Thursday…. Other districts also are reviewing safety.
Broward County schools are looking into adding resource officers, as
well as making structural changes to schools that have more than one
point of entry. But “that all takes dollars,” Broward Schools Police
Chief David Golt said. Golt said he’s been in school safety meetings
nonstop since Sandy Hook. “This is really at the forefront,” he said.
