Los Angeles school board to consider replacing officers with ‘school climate coaches’
Fox News
Climate coaches will assist site administrators and staff by "supporting a safe and positive school culture and climate for all students, staff, and community members" and will "be from the communities they serve with extensive knowledge and familiarity to strengthen student connection."
"We can’t ignore the legitimate concerns and criticisms that students and other members in the school community have about all forms of law enforcement," Superintendent Austin Beutner said Monday during his weekly message to the community. "No person should feel the presence of a safety officer on a campus as an indictment of them or their character." According to the school district's proposal, climate coaches will assist site administrators and staff by "supporting a safe and positive school culture and climate for all students, staff, and community members" and will "be from the communities they serve with extensive knowledge and familiarity to strengthen student connection."More Related News
