The public has a right to know the true extent of crimes committed in our public schools. The first school murder in decades occurred under Mayor de Blasio’s watch, yet he hasn’t provided the public with accurate statistics on the weapons confiscated and crimes occurring in schools.
The NY Civil Liberties Union is suing the administration to release this information. Local 237 supports transparency. Parents should be informed of the criminal activity in their children’s schools. School Safety Agents have confiscated record numbers of weapons over the past few years. It’s time the public understand just how crucial SSA’s are to keeping our schools safe for students and teachers!
