Episode Details

Starting this fall, Florida students heading to college will carry their disciplinary records with them—thanks to a new state policy requiring schools to share documented reports of serious or repeated misconduct, threats, and even therapy notes. Born from legislative action after the 2025 FSU shootings, the move aims to connect K-12 and college safety systems, helping institutions better assess potential risks. Board Chair Ryan Petty, whose daughter was killed in the Parkland shooting, insists this isn’t about punishment but understanding root causes of violence. Still, concerns linger about privacy, data misuse, and how colleges might use the info—especially in admissions. The goal? A fuller picture of each student to prevent future tragedies, marking a major shift in how records follow students beyond high school.
