We Care - Know The Rules

  • The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) consists of nine elected School Board Members who serve four-year terms. Two of the School Board Members are elected “at large” by all of the electors in Broward County. The other seven School Board Members are elected from seven school board member residence areas. The School Board Members, along with the Superintendent, oversee the sixth-largest District in the nation. The SBBC implements policies that govern ethical, fiduciary, and scholastic mandates, protocols, and procedures for the District's schools, offices, and departments subject to any applicable federal, state, or local laws. The SBBC answers to the residents and taxpayers of Broward County in an ethical, open, and transparent manner. 

    A school principal may supplement District policies by outlining rules specific to the school such as uniform colors, cell phone usage areas, and drop off/pick up times. However, school rules are limited in scope and do not supersede school district policies.

    4. When a replacement is required, students must report to the Media Center in the morning, before school, to receive a temporary ID badge. They will receive their printed replacement later that day.

    Dear Wildcat Family,

    In our continuous efforts to ensure the safety and security of all students, staff and visitors at Forest Glen Middle School, we are requiring all students and staff to wear identification (ID) badges at all times while on campus. ID badges and lanyards have been issued to all students free of charge.

    We will continue to require all visitors to check in with the Raptor System at the front desk. All visitors must wear the temporary ID badge provided to them throughout the duration of their visit.

Additionally, public schools are required to conduct, at a minimum, six (6) emergency drills every school year that are nonconcurrent with fire drills.

Four (4) of the six (6) emergency drills must address active threats.
