The Passing of the Paddle to Municipal and Justice Courts: Is the Schoolhouse to Courthouse Pipeline Overflowing?

Texas Public Policy Foundation, Policy Perspectives: Schooling a New Class of Criminals? March 2006

One of the most disturbing trends in school discipline and juvenile justice is what Texas Municipal Courts Education Center General Counsel Ryan Turner calls the passing of the paddle. Municipal courts and jusjustice of the peace courts are receiving an avalanche of Class C misdemeanors written to students in school, mostly for violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Speaking at a December 7, 2005, Texas Public Policy Foundation primer, State Rep. Harold Dutton (DHouston) recalled how he successfully defended an eight year-old student in municipal court who had received a Class C ticket from a school police officer for chewing gum in class. Dutton said the courtroom was full of other young students (and their parents) who had received similar tickets. Similarly, Turner, who also works as a prosecutor in Hays County, was referred a student who had been issued a Class C ticket for going out to get her books from her car in the school parking lot. Speaking to a group of 200 municipal court judges, Turner said almost all of them raised their hands when asked whether they felt like they had become the Vice Principal. One Harris County judge noted, A fight around the flagpole used to be handled at school; now it gets filed in court. Growing pains should not be dealt with in court. The kids miss school, the parents miss work, and they have to pay for parking. This has gone too far. Such anecdotal evidence is borne out by the little data that is available. From September 1, 2004 to August 31, 2005, there were 10,149 Education Code cases referred to Texas municipal courts, according to the Office of Court Administration.22 During the same period from 1998 to 1999, the first years in which such data was kept, there were 6,888 Education Code cases referred to municipal courts.23 This category of cases does not represent all citations issued at school, but only those issued for violations of the Student Code of Conduct. Many other citations issued in schools for violation of local or state criminal laws are classified in other, broader categories of municipal court cases. Education Code cases in Justice of the Peace courts are not separately tracked by the Office of Court Administration. With regard to juvenile court, in Harris County alone, of the 20,812 referrals, over a quarter (5,591) were school referrals. Section 37.102 of the Education Code, enacted as part of the 1995 Safe Schools Act, has been interpreted by school boards as empowering them to designate specific violations of the Student Code of Conduct that are Class C misdemeanors, even if such conduct is not a criminal offense under state or local law. Remarkably, some districts have even argued in court that these criminal offenses they create are not subject to the general defenses in the Penal Code, such as selfdefense. Students are issued citations for the school board-created offenses by school police officers, which they are expected to sign promising to appear in court, even though as minors they cannot enter into a contract. In most instances, the teacher, not the officer, is the one who saw the conduct at issue. Class C misdemeanors issued to students follow the same procedure as speeding tickets, which are also Class C misdemeanors. Assuming the student brings the citation home, his parents can choose to simply plead guilty and send in a payment for the fine amount, which can be up to $500, and court costs, which are $50 to $100. If the student does not plead guilty and pay the fine, a complaint is sworn out and the case is scheduled for trial before either the judge or a jury.

"We need a program of psychosurgery for political control of our society. The purpose is physical control of the mind. Everyone who deviates from the given norm can be surgically mutilated. The individual may think that the most important reality is his own existence, but this is only his personal point of view. This lacks historical perspective. Man does not have the right to develop his own mind. This kind of liberal orientation has great appeal. We must electrically control the brain. Some day armies and generals will be controlled by electrical stimulation of the brain."

Seriously though, where we live, I don't see these high handed actions. I'm not saying they don't happen somewhere else, because I don't know one way or the other. I'm just saying that I don't see it here. Maybe that's because if it did, whoever was responsible would get, at a minimum, the shit beat out of him.
