School Security

I was wondering the same. If it were true at least one kid in that class would have reordered it.

It's a mess at BHS. Since yesterday, fights in school/out of school. Teachers pushed. Students arrested. Keep in mind schools aren't allowed to expel students and are severely limited in what they are allowed to discipline. And apparently Tagger is the go to person now. And what rock is Minichello living under that he's surprised.

One day after four people were arrested when several fights broke out at Brockton High School, there has been more brawling between students Friday morning. Several students have taken to social media saying there has been fighting on school buses and inside and outside the school.A city official said two people have been taken into custody so far Friday. Former mayoral candidate and city activist Jacob Tagger posted on Facebook: "More fighting at BHS this morning, parents make sure you call and make sure your children are safe."

Brockton School Committee Vice-Chair Thomas Minichiello told The Enterprise Friday morning that he spoke with Superintendent Kathy Smith earlier today who confirmed there has been more fighting. "I'm very surprised and very concerned about what's going on," Minichiello said. "They've put in place more manpower up there. They're trying to figure out what seems to be going on, if there's a certain group of kids coordinating these fights. Police are involved and if necessary will be making arrests. We are not going to tolerate an environment like this."

The fighting comes on the heels of Brockton High School being ranked Level 1, the highest-level performance, in this year's Department of Elementary and Secondary Education accountability report, which was released Monday. "It's unfortunate that this is happening after the school receiving Level 1 status. You have a high school that has 4000 kids, a vast majority are super kids and you have a very, very small group of kids who are causing this unacceptable chaos," Minichiello said.

How nice of Tagger to suggest that parents tie up the phone lines and waste people's time just to check on junior.

I will refrain from criticizing the vice chair but these fights should not be a surprise at all. We place over 4300 kids in a school, let them know that the state and community leaders frown on any real discipline and the small % of troublemakers cause problems for the other 97%

We have created an atmosphere of potential chaos putting our students, teachers and staff in an unsafe situation.

We need to enforce discipline get the 3% under control.

As for parents calling I would not recommend this as this ties up lines and staff to answer phones and creates a more dangerous situation. We also don't want parents roaming around school grounds and this could also create a potential issue

I know . Who made him "parent in charge".

Tonight's Brockton High School Varsity Football game vs. BC High has been postponed until tomorrow at 3 PM at Marciano Stadium.

Although I agree it's probably the smart decision , the kids who most likely aren't involved, are the ones most impacted. Also, if the weather forecasts are right we are supposed to get heavy rain. That impacts the field and the spectators will be smaller in number. And Brockton really needs to win his game.

LE has every right to profile and corral that 3% for the benefit of the community who is there to LEARN.

So little johnny turned in his paper late and recieved 10 points off. Sometimes crap happens a child might have cancer or a parent might have cancer and if asked in a non-threatening way and for a meeting then maybe something could of been done. This women should be brought up on criminal charges plain and simple.
When teachers fear for life because of parents, my neice had to quit her teaching job in Hanson because this women was threatening her and the police and school did nothing. So where does Brockton HIgh and the School Commitee stand on this. Its time for a change and I mean a big change.

I was here just to read the comments
