6. Aggravated Assault
7. Manslaughter
8. Arson

These arrests include:

3. Weapons possession

Under the category of "prejudice":

1. Crimes of forcible and non-forcible sex offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, manslaughter, arson, and other crimes that involve bodily injury that show evidence of prejudice based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity or disability.

The Franklinton Career Center reports that their have been no offenses as outlined in the past year (2003-04).

The location of our facility is in a busy area of town.  The campus does not have a security officer or any personnel in the capacity.  We strongly suggest the use of 911 - the emergency response number to access the police, sheriff, fire, highway patrol and EMS.  Any and all criminal activity including personal and bodily harm should be reported immediately to the closest faculty member and the Director.

We feel that it is best to limit the distribution of keys to the facility and access is limited to the facility at times other than when the school is in session for the safety of all students and faculty.  There may be times when the school is open during non-school hours, which will be approved by the Director of the school.

The Franklinton Career Center's Alcohol & Drug Free School Policy as required under Section 1213 of the Higher Education Act of 1965: "Any employee or student who is a drug or alcohol offender will have action imposed on them by the Franklinton Career Center.  This disciplinary action will include: 1) mandatory treatment/attendance at a local treatment facility; 2)  mandatory completion of a drug rehabilitation program at the expense of the offender; 3) possible discharge from employment/expulsion from school."
