The following data reflect the charges to youth admitted to the Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center and the school they were enrolled in at the time (not the location of the arrest). Alcohol arrests were not included in the data. Regarding alcohol arrests, there were 24 youth alcohol possession charges and five disorderly intoxication charges.
How to interpret the tables:
School Types: The type of school (i.e., middle school or high school).
All Charges: All of the charges that occurred on school campuses (i.e., battery, trespassing, marijuana possession).
Drug-Related Charges: Charges that reflect any type of drug-related charge (i.e., marijuana possession, sale of a controlled substance, smoking tobacco on campus; Note: alcohol-related charges are not included).
Tobacco-Related, Paraphernalia-Related, Marijuana-Related and Controlled Substance-Related: These are breakdowns of the types of charges included in the “drug-related charge” total (i.e., if a school has 3 total drug-charges, 1 could be tobacco-related and 2 marijuana-related).
Example: Looking at the table below, in Pinellas County Middle Schools, there were a total of 322 charges by youth on school-campuses. 22 of those charges, or 6.8%, were drug-related. Of the 22 drug-related charges, 1 was paraphernalia-related, 20 were marijuana-related and 1 was controlled substance-related.
Important Note: These data do not reflect all youth drug-related incidents in Pinellas County. For instance, youth are rarely sent to the Pinellas Juvenile Assessment Center for a tobacco incident and under the zero tolerance policy, the Pinellas County School Board has an alternative program for first time alcohol and/or other drug offenders and their families called FACE IT. In the 2011-2012 school year, 193 students have been enrolled in the FACE IT program rather than being reassigned to an alternative school for an alcohol or related drug offense.
