An uptick in violence in and outside Rochester City Schools has prompted some people in the school community to push for Rochester Police Department officers to be stationed in buildings again. This comes more than a year and a half after officers were removed from schools.
This hour, we hear from representatives on both sides of the debate, and we examine what the research says about police presence in schools. Our guests:
- Beatriz LeBron, commissioner for the Rochester City School District
- Adam Urbanski, president of the Rochester Teachers Association
