Gregory Floyd, the head of Teamsters Local 237, which represents the city’s school safety agents, said his members “have always alerted” local cops to issues at their schools that could lead to a violent incident.
Floyd blames the increase in violence at dismissal times to the removal of “safe corridor” programs that were run by the NYPD and School Safety officers before the pandemic.
As part of the program, cops and School Safety officers would monitor streets students used to leave school on their way to the nearest train stations and bus stops.
“We had the safe corridor program down to a science,” Floyd said Friday. “But during the George Floyd protests, the de Blasio administration weakened it. They should never have allowed the liberals who don’t have children in our schools tell us how to protect children.”
