A hearing regarding school safety and security measures was held in the City of Boston on Tuesday. The hearing analyzed both safety and security measures taken to protect school environments from threatening situations, and it featured a panel from the Boston Police Department (BPD) as well as members of the public.
“A safe school environment is more than just locks and training, although those are incredibly important,” said Annissa Essaibi-George, the councillor who sponsored the hearing. “It’s also about creating a community that is safe and welcoming.”
