Didn’t Trayvon Martin’s Miami-Dade County School system have a similar policy?
From The American Spectator, July 15, 2013: How a Miami School Crime Cover-Up Policy Led to Trayvon Martin’s Death:
The February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martion might never have happened if school officials in Miami-Dade County had not instituted an unofficial policy of treating crimes as school disciplinary infractions. Revelations that emerged from an internal affairs investigation explain why Martin was not arrested when caught at school with stolen jewelry in October 2011 or with marijuana in February 2012. Instead, the teenager was suspended from school, the last time just days before he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.
I'm repeating the link for the internal affairs investigation, because I had to go to the Wayback Machine to get it (the original link is gone).
