Broward County schools has had $100 million stashed away for "school safety" since 2014
 

REPORT: Broward County Schools was sitting on $100M allocated for school safety since 2014

“In 2014, Superintendent Runcie successfully convinced Broward residents to vote on $800 million in bonds for Broward County Public Schools to invest back into the schools. According to The Qualification Selection Evaluation Committee (QSEC), an anti-corruption measure, there should be a committee of 11 people, five of whom are members from the public, that would decide what companies were given lucrative contracts to manage that $800,000,000 in voter approved projects. Just a year later, Runcie, who was tasked with bringing transparency to the board, moved to bypass those anti-corruption measures by removing members of the public from voting on who received the contracts."

too bad they don't invest it in education

It took a student to discover this and not MSM

The article seems to be a bit thin on facts. Let's just assume that they voted for an $800 million bond, and $100 million of that was put towards school security. In the past three years they've only spent $4 million of that $100 million. What was the $4 million spent on, what future plans did they have for the follow year or next, and how much money of that are they planning on putting away for future costs?

This seems like something where you don't spend all of it at once or even in a few years. Isn't this something that would spend over a period of ten to twenty years?

I wish my kid's school district had $800 million to play with.

The kid who did the research wants to break the news himself next week as it states in the article..

I went to school in broward company. Spent way too much money on that..
