Faith is the backbone of what this place is about.

I thought what a great experience it would be for my students to be able to do the same thing.

Unless you have a true rapport with a student, it makes it difficult to help them deal with something this bad. We also had a word of prayer at our meeting, which was probably more effective than any practical advice.

We haven't addressed how to deal with emergency situations like this yet. I think it's something we will probably cover and we will also be going over respect, honesty and reporting the truth, too.

This is really a pilot program for the state. If the program does well here, the state hopes to expand it to other schools across Florida.

The faith that stand on authority is not faith.
