Eight grader Alexa Torres already is feeling anxious about entering high school in Santa Rosa next year.
She attends Santa Rosa Middle School and says on-campus violence has become part of her academic experience.
The meeting comes in the wake of the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old junior Jayden Pienta, who was killed during a classroom confrontation at Montgomery High. His death has the Santa Rosa community reeling. Some called for the return of school resource officers or SROs. They were disbanded after the George Floyd protests in 2020.
"We hear about fights almost daily and some of the bullying that's happening on campus. It's a common conversation that we're having with our youth," said Stewart.
