It sure seems that lying and denying what is going on in the public school system has been going on for quite awhile and not just in Florida. Years ago in doing research on different colleges to send my kids to, I ran across several reports (verified by police reports) stating that colleges are not reporting crimes (including rapes) in order to boost their safety ratings making their appeal greater.
Only when a school experiences a mass shooting is their any kind of investigation into the probable lack of accountability and responsibility on behalf of the school system.
We are entrusting our teachers, principles, and the board of education, etc., with our children, they definitely should be scrutinized and monitored. The sec'y of education needs to implement some checks and balances. After all our tax dollars are paying their salaries!

Behind Cruz's Rampage: Obama's School-Leniency Policy
Real Clear Politics, Mar 1, 2018, Paul Sperry
Despite committing a string of arrestable offenses on campus before the Florida school shooting, Nikolas Cruz was able to escape the attention of law enforcement, pass a background check and purchase the weapon he used to slaughter 14 fellow students and three adults because of Obama administration efforts to make school discipline more lenient.
Documents reviewed by RealClearInvestigations and interviews show that his school district in Florida’s Broward County was in the vanguard of a strategy, adopted by more than 50 other major school districts nationwide, allowing thousands of troubled, often violent, students to commit crimes without legal consequence. The aim was slowing the "school-to-prison pipeline."
“He had a clean record, so alarm bells didn’t go off when they looked him up in the system,†veteran FBI agent Michael Biasello told RCI. “He probably wouldn’t have been able to buy the murder weapon if the school had referred him to law enforcement."
Disclosures about the strategy add a central new element to the Parkland shooting story: It's not just one of official failings at many levels and of America's deep divide over guns, but also one of deliberate federal policy gone awry.

Another case of unintended consequences, from another Federal program.
Will we (meaning the people we elect) ever learn?

Yup. Another unintended consequence: I don't think Obama pushed for this to keep white kids out of jail.

Right, but I think he pushed for it to keep all he could out of jail, to make the crime stats looker better, and make us feel "safer".
