Perhaps you can volunteer to hold parenting workshops at your school. Broward and Dade Schools are very aware of the problem. Both districts have special programs that teach kids anger management, etc. Teachers are also being trained in identifying kids who appear troubled. Dade's schools have a Trust Counselor who spends the entire school day talking to students and helping them with all the social issues so many kids face today.
Some schools have random metal detector searches.
Both school districts have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to guns. These kids are either expelled or they are sent to alternative schools.
