You can shoot 17 people dead, some multiple times, in 6 minutes, and get no blood on you at all.

Powerful meeting - County, school leaders address District 9 residents
Sun Sentinel (Fort Lauderdale, FL) - June 16, 2013
Author/Byline: Alyssa Cutter, Staff Writer

Jobs, education and crime were the main topics discussed at a recent meeting of Broward County’s District 9, which includes Sunrise, Plantation, Lauderhill and North Lauderdale.

County Commissioner Dale V.C. Holness, who represents the area, spoke about the challenges the district faces, including the highest unemployment rate, lowest high school graduation among boys and highest poverty rate in the county.

“District 9 is challenging in that we have the district with the greatest need in Broward County for improvement,” Holness said.

Holness brought in prominent speakers to speak about changes to help the community, including Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie, U.S. Rep. Alcee L. Hastings’ Chief of Staff Art Kennedy, and Broward Sheriff Scott Israel. Runcie spoke about needed changes and those starting to take effect in Broward’s schools, including changing the current model to help students be better prepared for the workforce and better early learning programs.

(snip)

Another topic both Runcie and Israel mentioned was stopping the “schoolhouse to jailhouse” pipeline in Broward County and starting a civil citation program for juveniles who commit misdemeanors. If a youth commits a misdemeanor crime, such as graffiti, shoplifting or trespassing, instead of getting a criminal record, they can agree to a program that could include community service and counseling.

“They never have to worry about not getting a firefighter job, a police officer or military job,” Israel said. “We said we will measure our success on the kids we keep out of jail, not the kids we put in jail.”

Robert Runcie leaving Chicago to become chief of Broward County Florida schools

George N. Schmidt - September 17, 2011

Less than three months after he was demoted and then laterally moved at part of Chief Executive Officer Jean-Claude Brizard’s shakeup of the Chicago Public Schools central administration, Robert Runcie will be leaving Chicago to become superintendent of the Broward County school district in Florida. Runcie, who was brought into Chicago’s public schools by former CEO Arne Duncan in 2003, had most recently served as “Chief of Staff” to Board President David Vitale. Prior to that, Runcie held various posts at the top of the CPS hierarchy, including Chief Information Officer and Chief Administrative Officer. Brizard pushed him aside in favor of Tim Cawley, who is the current Chief Administrative Officer. Runcie had also served as a Chief Area Officer (CAO) for a short time. He had no CPS teaching or administrative experience when he was brought in by fellow Harvard Alumnus Arne Duncan early in Duncan’s term as CPS CEO.

If not for a passing glance from a teacher proctoring the SAT, Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie’s life would have turned out very differently. Before arriving in the U.S. from Jamaica at the age of six, Bob had no formal schooling. In fact, he had to repeat the first grade. By fourth grade, he had already surpassed the education level of his parents.

But while filling out the paperwork for the SAT during his senior year in high school, a biology teacher saw him select the local Poughkeepsie, New York, community college as the school he would attend. The following Monday, that teacher told Bob that he could make it at a big-name school if he would just apply. A few no. 2 pencil marks next to the bubbles for some different colleges, and Bob was on his way to study economics at Harvard University because they offered him the best financial aid package.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/education/fl-runcie-to-make-higher-salary-20171106-story.html

Broward Superintendent Robert Runcie will get a $28,000 raise and additional benefits under a contract approved by the School Board on Tuesday.

The deal brings Runcie’s salary to $335,000 and extends his employment through June 30, 2023.

Under the new contract, Runcie would:

— Be able to trade in 15 of his 29 vacation days for a cash value of $20,500.

— Get $48,000 contributed annually from the school board for retirement plans

— Be allowed to earn a pension based on four years of his service in Chicago, estimated to cost to the district another $80,000.

(snip)

Runcie’s old contract would have expired in October 2019.

Usually when the libs turn on their own it’s to protect something bigger.


Very shrewd observation. Needs repeating...

A proctological exam on Broward County is not something they want interfering with their carefully-crafted anti-gun jihad. The rather strange connect-the-dots going on with Sheriff Israel, Superintendent Runcie, the Obama administration, Islamicists, etc (Wasserman-Schultz? Awan Borthers?) will probably make for a rather damning flow chart.

Is it possible that the delay was to allow bad behavior by students to be addressed by staff before it was reported? Then the videos could be erased without the incriminating evidence ever being available for any kind of police report or even school record report, much less criminal record or prosecution.

Does Broward County allow the deputies to have real ammo?

I watched an interview with him. He’s not going to resign. He’s as narcissistic as Hillary.

So obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence is justified if it helps kids of certain ethnicites avoid a school report, criminal record, or prosecution?

Go back to DU.

Yeah well, they coulda gone home if you look at it that way . . .

The only thing they thought accomplished was to capture the murderer coming out - don’t think they even did that, did they?

Yes, but it (singular) has to be kept in the deputies right front shirt pocket unless absolutely needed. /s

Well, Sheriff Israel is a fraud and should be fired.

But how many other psycho shooters are out there that the police and the FBI are ignoring?

The way the FBI arrogantly buried this case is frightening, because it portends there are hundreds of others overlooked. Do we know? I believe Wray should be fired, even though most of the blame lays at Comey’s feet. Without accountability then mediocrity reigns. While they waste hours searching for Russian urinating hookers others plot the murders of Americans. If Wray is fired, then maybe we will get the laser focus that these warnings demand.

The FBI has become a laughing stock, a keystone cop troupe that happens to be politically correct and finds reasons not to arrest jihadists, yet a terrific goon squad for the DNC chasing down Trump workers who cheated a little on their taxes, or harassing Tea Party organizers who were declared enemies of the state by Comrade Obama. Meanwhile kids are dying, but if it doesn’t help the Democrats politically, don’t count on the FBI to do anything about it.

When it comes to dying children, do you see any Dems in Chicago actually giving a shit?

When liberals run law enforcement agencies they arrogantly believe their warped political ideologies dovetail perfectly with their professional responsibilities. Hence the FBI lets Mateen go because he complains of being racially profiled, and then he shoots 50 people to death in a night club.

“that many calls to the home of a child should have triggered an army of social crisis workers to descend on the household, especially an adopted child. And yet every social worker involved wrote the case off? Why? Minority privilege? Too much paperwork? what?”

HE IS 100% AN ADULT — CPS and DCF have no juristiction

More and more kids are not ready for age 18.
