Should police officers be in schools? California education leaders rethink school safety |
|
A movement to reform California public school policing and drastically rethink school safety is quickly gaining momentum amid nationwide protests against police brutality following the killing of George Floyd. In Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento and San Francisco, administrators and school boards are under pressure from community groups who are renewing demands for police-free schools and calling on districts to instead hire more counselors and other student support services.

|
As the nine University of California campuses serving undergraduates grapple with how to conduct classes this fall, at least one has decided that virtually all its undergraduate instruction will be offered remotely rather than in person. “At the undergraduate level, essentially all instruction will be remote,” wrote Michael Dennin, the dean of the division of undergraduate education, and Gillian Hayes, the dean of the graduate division, in an email sent to faculty this week. |
