After a rash of violence at LAUSD schools, parents have organized a petition demanding the return of police on school campuses.
It was not considered a credible threat by authorities, but a social media post and a threat against Carson High scribbled on a bathroom wall were enough for some parents to keep their kids at home, adding to the growing chorus of police returning to campuses. A safety task force study by the LAUSD Board of Education is suggesting individual campuses should be able to decide if there should be officers in their individual schools.
From the recent shooting death of a 15-year-old Washington Prep student during an after-school confrontation outside campus, to a middle schooler caught with weapons in Northridge this week, to fatal fentanyl overdoses, fights, and physical aggression. "I wish they would have left the police on the campuses of the high schools," said one parent.
