11/£ Through the end of April 1994, the San Marcos CISD has had 100 expulsion hearings. The offenses were: 64 Serious and persistent misbehavior 21 Drug-related offenses 6 Gang-related fighting at school 5 illegal weapons 4 Assault (In the San Marcos CISD, fighting does not always result in an expulsion hearing, but the San Marcos Police Department is always called.) Many of the students who are sent to an expusion hearing are sent to the San Marcos CISD Rebound Center, where students with discipline concerns are given a chance to work on improving their behavior and their academic performance. (Otherwise, they would be on th~ streets, and not getting an education). Current enrollment at the Rebound Center has swollen to 35. Statistics from the Department of Public Safety, Crime Records Division, paint an alarming picture of the potential for crisis concerning the juvenile crime rate in Hays Co~nty (we have no way of determining the number of these youth who are San Marcos residents or SMCISD students). Some of the highlights of the 1993 report include: . Offenses 1993 Total Murder 1 Rape 7 Aggravated Assault 24 Burgulary 75 Larceny Theft 165 Motor Vehicle Theft 15 Other Assaults 56 Forgery and Counterfeiting 1 Vandalism 43 Weapons (Carrying, Possessing) 13 Sex Offenses (Except Rape and Prostitution) 2 Drug Abuse Violations 29 Offenses Against Family and Children 25 Driving Under the Influence 6 Liquor Laws 32 Drunkenness 18 Disorderly Conduct 40 Loitering Law Violations 3 Run-Aways 174 Overall, 832 Hays County juveniles were arrested in 1993. More boys (620) were arrested than girls (212). The ethnic report breaks the totals down as 420 Hispanics and 412 Non-Hispanics. Blacks (part of the noted Non-Hispanic group) accounted for 56 arrests. San Marcos Community Gang Task Force Report Page 5
