Concerns rise over felons near local school
During a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the safety of a local school in proximity to a high concentration of registered individuals with criminal backgrounds. Antoinette, a key speaker at the meeting, highlighted that out of 800 registered individuals at a specific address, over 300 had criminal records, with many involving violent crimes. This alarming statistic was supported by documentation from the Broward Sheriff's Office, which was shared with attendees.

Antoinette expressed her apprehension about the implications of having such a high number of convicted felons frequenting an area near a school, emphasizing that it is likely the only location in the city where such a concentration exists outside of correctional facilities or courthouses.

Additionally, she referenced a previous discussion from March regarding the issue, noting that despite efforts from Commissioner Glassman to revisit the topic, there had been no substantial changes or resolutions, which only intensified the concerns surrounding the safety of the school environment. The meeting underscored the ongoing dialogue about community safety and the need for effective measures to address these pressing issues.
