Superintendent Alberto Carvalho announced Wednesday that the district will conduct an"access assessment" to reduce points of entry to campuses. It will also explore"safe corner" designations so students and staff will know the most-protected areas on campus in the event of a shooting or other emergency.
"Since Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, and now in Uvalde, Texas, we have witnessed that ready access to guns for anyone, including students, without any filter, means that any place in America can become a dangerous place, whether it's a movie theater, a grocery store, a temple, a church or a school," Carvalho said in a statement."Thanks to the Board of Education, Los Angeles Unified has implemented numerous safety measures in our school communities.
The Los Angeles Board of Education voted in February 2021 to replace school police officers on campuses with staff trained in de-escalation strategies and conflict resolution. School police officers remain on-call to respond to emergencies and incidents on campuses.
More cost efficient to defund police and pass stricter gun control. Police are ineffective.
Crime is up because of No Bail Laws. Then the liberals cried de fund police.
Stop it!!! Enough! This is ridiculous and not productive. Los Angeles has a school police department. That same department was harassed and defunded largely by UTLA Board of Directors. However, pull their stats on guns and weapons removed from LAUSD annually! LASPDsaveslives
Oh now it’s on.. we have been saying this for years. To bad the hurting peoples feelings was more important than protecting our kids. Your feelings are not important, lives are. Grow up, suck it up or stay home
What good would officers do? From what happened in Uvalde, all they'll do is stand around and shove parents trying to save their kids to the ground.
Uvalde spent roughly $4.1M of their $10.3M operating budget on police. This community doesn't have much money for other things once they're done paying the cops. Uvalde spent roughly $4.1M of their $10.3M operating budget on police.
Ask the Democrats party, they defunded the police!
Bring back medal detectors and monitors
Replace all the students with police
Black Lives Matter demanded police taken out schools because majority of arrests were blacks…
Hmmm..glad we all see the light now
What happen is they are going have security and police driving around the school… then everything going to be forgotten
Sure there’s enough but def not enough courage.
Los Angeles pushed for defunding POLICE in 2020! Now they want Police?!
If the officers are too cowardly to go in then increasing the numbers does nothing. How about we try gun regulations?
No,there aren't or ever will be, so pass guns laws, so you give kids a fighting chance.
Really? After seeing how the police stood around while children were murdered? This is the take you want to go with? They tackled parents! While their children were murdered!
Uvalde had its own police officers in that school and yet they didn’t help at all! Asking children to yell “help” when an active shooter is in the same room is fucken stupid!
Most school will be out for summer vacation by Friday Parents hear me out don’t send your kids to school in the Fall let’s unite and end this keep our kids home till we get change if we managed through a pandemic we can manage to get our point across now
Police are NOT the answer. Uvalde proved this definitively. Police are slow and cowardly, placing their own lives above everyone else, even school children. Guns are the problem. Period. Remove the guns. Remove Republicans. Save our kids! RepSteel RepYoungKim CA45 CA40
We’ve tried this. It didn’t work. Clearly.
Install the gun scanner device for every school. Something like in the airports.
I thought we were defunding tje police? What happen to that narrative?
Probably not
Why did it take 40 minutes for the officers to go into the school? Y’all skipped over that.
Based on reports from Uvalde, having officers present isn't the issue. There were officers present from the first moment. Heck they chased the shooter to that school and then apparently didnt go after him after he entered...for 40 minutes.
we need more cops to grab their own kids and then wait outside for an hour
The weed dispensaries are secured like Fort Knox
