Orange County Public Schools must give 'immediate attention' to how it manages student behavior and reports student discipline incidents because the problems outlined in a grand jury report still remain, according to a recent letter sent to the school district from the Florida Department of Education.The letter suggested more serious problems, however, than those outlined by the grand jury, whose work was released in August. The grand jury, convened after the Parkland high school massacre in 2018, investigated whether the school district in Broward County, the site of the tragedy, and other districts were following school safety laws enacted after the shooting deaths of 17 students and staff.
