The San Jose Unified School District announced this week that it has reaffirmed its relationship with local police despite mounting pressure from locals to cut ties. A group of activists urged the school district to remove police officers from the schools, with one school board official saying that protesters rallied outside of her home prior to the board’s decision.
According to a local news report, the San Joe Unified School District has ignored the calls of anti-police activists and reaffirmed its commitment to working with local police officers. As a result of the board’s decision, local police officers will continue to monitor school buildings to protect students and staff.
