How do the higher discipline numbers for Black students in Bay Area schools impact the amount of black children in juvenile detention facilities?  

Out of the more than 4,300 kids arrested, 602 students were arrested in Hillsborough County schools in 2018-19, according to the Department of Juvenile Justice.. 

Hillsborough communication officials still haven’t provided the details of the students arrested there.

But Pinellas County reported that there were 454 school-related arrests. Black students make up the majority of those arrests, with 208 Black males and 99 Black females, compared with 81 white males and 31 white females. 

We talked with state and local leaders, who said this trend is feeding the school-to-prison pipeline.
