Pinellas school contract with police agencies raises concerns

Pinellas school contract with police agencies raises concerns Civil rights attorneys fear the new agreement would strip students of protections from over-policing.     Pinellas School Board member Caprice Edmond, seen here while campaigning last year, is pressing the district to take a closer look at its contract with local police agencies. [ MARTHA ASENCIO RHINE | Times ] Updated Feb. 8 Attorneys and civil rights leaders are scrutinizing an agreement between the Pinellas County school system and 13 local police agencies, saying officials pushed it through without adequate notice or input from the community. In a letter Thursday, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund said it was “dismayed” that the school district and the agencies “quietly negotiated the proposed agreement without the input of parents and students and with scarcely any input from educators.”
