How federal funding kept Nikolas Cruz from getting arrested and unable to purchase firearms
American Thinker ^ | 2-26-2018 | M. Catherine Evans

The collaborative agreement, signed by Runcie; Sheriff Scott Israel, now fully embroiled in his agency's failure to get Cruz off the streets; state's attorneys; the president of the Broward chapter of the NAACP; and many others, has the fundamental goal of keeping minority students involved in various "transgressions" away from law enforcement and out of the courts.

In one feature of PROMISE, Judge Williams circumvents the criminal justice system by participating in a simulated court hearing called "The Juvenile Justice System of Care," where he encourages the delinquent student to participate in the program rather than risk arrest.With the promise of federal monies, it's no surprise that Superintendent Runcie (annual salary: $335,000) was happy to oblige his friends in D.C. Within a year of Runcie's arrival, student arrest rates were down 66 percent, and Broward County Schools were about to hit the federal jackpot.

On October 5, 2016, the School Board of Broward County Public Schools and its community partners signed the PROMISE agreement for the second time. After the 2016 signing, it was announced a couple of weeks later on October 18, BCPS was the only large urban district in the country to receive a Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grant from the U.S. Dept. of Education totaling $53,808, 909. One of the TIF's grant priorities is listed as "improved life for students in poverty/students of color."

The arrogant betrayal of the fundamental duties of law enforcement, here, is only exceeded by utter stupidity of anyone actually thinking this approach would be socially beneficial.

Of COURSE it was socially beneficial. Those that promoted and signed this farce went VERY far in the Leftist social circles.

Subvert, if not break, the Law, social\familial structures, morals, etc. Isn’t that what the Leftists are all about? Some are actually SURPRISED this ‘agreement’ (hello, RICO) got off the ground??

Thank you for the specifics on what types of misdemeanors were considered not important enough to report to the authorities.

You are correct in your assessment that this school stopped being what most folks consider a school to be.

What’s a few students’ lives when you’re looking at $54 million...

We’ll never know the extent of evil doings during the Obama administration.

“””BCPS was the only large urban district in the country to receive a Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grant from the U.S. Dept. of Education totaling $53,808, 909”””


We do not know how much Broward County Schools received of the $53 million granted by U.S. Dept. of Education.

The amount received by Broward County Schools was probably not all that much. So when we find out exactly how much Broward County Schools received, then is the time to divide the amount by 17 dead people and were the lives of those 17 people worth so little to keep school criminals from going to jail?

The announcement came October 18, 2016 Broward County P/S/D was the only large urban school district in the country to receive a Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grant from the US Dept. of Education totaling $53,808, 909 . One of the TIF’s grant priorities is listed as “improved life for students in poverty/students of color.”

One Broward signatory-—Obama’s Chicago crony-— Broward Supet of Schools Runci’s annual salary is $335,000 PLUS perks.

Nothing that the Left promotes has ever been socially beneficial. What drives the Left is hatred; hatred of reality; hatred of any aspect of a natural order that does not serve or validate their fancies—their day dreams.
