Parents and teachers in one New York school district are calling for more police officers on campus to curb violence from students fighting in schools.
Parents and teachers in Buffalo, New York, are fed up with the ongoing violence in their schools and are calling on school leaders to beef up security for the safety of students and staff. 'We have had a fight at every single school, every single day,' Pastor James Giles of the WNY Peacemakers told Buffalo news station, WIVB-TV. The violence has been so regular that staff have had to call the police 'almost every day,' one teacher at Riverside Academy described.
The district reportedly removed off-duty police officers from Buffalo Schools in 2021. Former Superintendent Kriner Cash announced the change at a board meeting that February, calling the ongoing police presence at schools 'completely inappropriate' and the 'opposite' of the 'restorative practices' model the district believed in. Some parents and teachers, like Bruno, suggested that was a mistake.
