Title

Student Behavior Tracking (B)

Explanation

On July 24, 2006, the City Commission referred the issue of student behavior tracking to the Community Development Committee.  The Committee met on November 14, 2006 and discussed the issue of tracking student behavior and agreed that students need to understand how landlords are affected by tenant conduct.  The Committee recommended that the City Commission request the Presidents of the University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College look at their Codes of Student Conduct and consider amending them.

At the January 8, 2008 City Commission meeting, the Commission authorized the Mayor to request the University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College to amend their Codes of Student Conduct as other universities have done, so that students can be held accountable for serious and repeated violations of City ordinances.  On February 15, 2007, the Mayor sent letters to the University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College.  Responses have been received from the University of Florida and Santa Fe Community College (attached).

Fiscal Note
