[FoxNews] The Chicago Board of Education voted on Thursday to end its contract with Chicago police and remove uniformed officers from the city’s schools.
The vote came at the end of a nearly eight-hour school board meeting in which teachers, students and elected city officials spoke.
The battle on whether to keep the uniformed police officers in the 39 city schools where they continue to patrol, out of 634 schools, has been going on since police were assigned to protect the schools in 1991.
Some students told school board members that police in the schools scare them.
FOX 32 in Chicago reported that when the board cast their votes, it was in favor of a new "Whole School Safety Policy," which eliminates the use of school resource officers.
The official plan will be presented to board members for final approval over the summer, and if approved, it goes into effect next school year.
"We want to be clear that many schools will still employ physical safety personnel like security guards at points of entry, and crossing guards and Safe Passage workers to ensure students can get to and from school safely," the board said in the letter obtained by the station. "Some schools will also continue to use physical security tools such as security cameras or metal detectors. Furthermore, each school will still maintain a relationship with their local Chicago Police Department ‘School Sergeant,’ a position assigned to each police district to provide safety support to schools."
The board also reportedly said in the letter the funding used for uniformed officers in schools will be reallocated for "alternative safety positions, resources, and interventions," like restorative justice coordinators, youth intervention specialists, wrap-around supports and mentoring programs, and more.
Welcome Mass School Shooters.
Chicago wants insure you have a great Kill count to re-enforce our demands for Gun Control of HONEST Self Defending Citizens.
Some students Gangs told school board members that police in the schools scare hamper them.

The Plan:
We simply need more mass shooting in order to push gun control. What better place than the murder capital of the United States?
So we disarm law-abiding students but not thugs and gang-bangers who ignore the law anyway and then blame the guns.

Chicago high school students walk out of class over gun violence

Students at a Chicago high school staged a classroom walkout Monday afternoon to protest gun violence just days after a shooting near their campus left two teenagers dead and two others wounded.
Students at Benito Juarez Community Academy in the Pilsen neighborhood on the city's southwest side, left their classrooms and gathered around a makeshift memorial where Friday's shooting occurred. The students called on city leaders to bolster security on their campus and crack down on gangs.
Many of the students released balloons into the air as they held a vigil for the victims.
"I want Benito Juarez to be safer because, honestly, I felt like this situation wouldn't have happened if it wasn't a lot of gang activity around the school," one of the student protest organizers, Kiya, told ABC Chicago station WLS-TV. "It's scary for people like me, who are not gang-affiliated, that have to go to school every day and then wonder, 'Dang, am I going to get shot?'"

When I was in high school back in the 60s, it was unimaginable to have the police in my high school. There was certainly no need, and no one would ever have suggested it.
But I do realize that those were VERY different times.

^i was in high school in the early 1950's and it was safe. we were taught civics and the 3 r's. there was also vigilante justice rendered by my dad and uncles. i had a happy peaceful childhood. IMO LBJ and affirmative action started us down hill. affirmative action is racist. it gives a color a preference. there should be no hyphenated americans just americans.

If your agenda is a national police force and disarming the American people, you need the never-ending scenes of violence for the daily propaganda broadcasts. Cloward-Piven is about overwhelming the system and frightening the sheep into accepting anything to make it stop!
When Big Mike is unveiled as the rescuing Savior with Barry always poised in the background, the useful idiots will clamor for that, never having the reasoning skills to recognize that they and their ilk are the ones behind the Puppet Show that orchestrated the mess they will claim they can clean up! Our modern crop of "citizens" are the very definition of "rube".
[AJC] Thousands of texts between DA and special prosecutor in 2021, court filing says
Nathan Wade appeared to make at least 35 visits to the Hapeville neighborhood where Fani Willis was living before the district attorney hired him to lead Fulton County’s election interference prosecution, according to cellphone data included in a court submission filed Friday.
The filing, by attorneys for Donald Trump, raises fresh questions about the relationship between the two prosecutors, which the former president and other defendants argue has tainted the case against them and should result in Willis and her office being disqualified.
Trump’s lawyers relied on data collected from Wade’s cellphone and cellphone tower transmissions to track his movements. It seems to contradict Wade’s testimony last week in which he said he had visited Willis at her condo in Hapeville no more than 10 times before he was hired in November 2021. It also indicates Wade twice arrived late at night at the condo and left early the next morning in the months before Willis and Wade said their relationship became romantic early in 2022.
Both Wade and Willis testified last week that they did not spend the night together at the Hapeville condo.
"We are required to respond to the filing via the court and we are preparing a response now," Jeff DiSantis, a spokesman for Willis, said Friday.
The timeline is important for two reasons. If Willis and Wade were a couple before she hired him it raises the prospect that she may have violated at least the spirit of anti-nepotism rules, though Fulton’s policy specifically focuses on family members. More importantly, both Willis and Wade have testified under oath that the relationship began in 2022. If defense attorneys can prove that they lied under oath it could constitute perjury.
Friday’s court filing includes an affidavit from Charles Mittelstadt, a longtime investigator for defense attorneys. He said he obtained the cellphone data from AT&T through a subpoena.
Mittelstadt said he used the online tool, CellHawk, to determine where Wade spent his time in 2021. "CellHawk is considered by law enforcement to be the gold standard in cellphone records analytics," Mittelstadt said, noting it is used by law enforcement throughout the U.S. and Georgia.
The affidavit says Willis and Wade called each other more than 2,000 times during the first 11 months of 2021 and exchanged just less than 12,000 text messages.
Mittelstadt also said he focused on when Wade’s cellphone connected to a tower near Willis’ Hapeville address for extended periods to make sure he was stationary and not in transit. He said he did the same thing to determine when Wade was at his home in East Cobb County.
On one occasion, on Sept. 11, 2021, Wade’s phone left the Doraville area and arrived in the vicinity of Willis’ Hapeville address at 10:45 p.m. The phone remained there until 3:28 a.m. and could later be seen arriving in East Cobb at 4:05 a.m., shortly before Wade sent a text to Willis, the affidavit said.
Similarly, Wade’s phone left the East Cobb area the night of Nov. 29, 2021, after receiving an 11:32 p.m. call from Willis, the affidavit said. It arrived in Hapeville at 12:43 a.m. and remained there until 4:55 a.m., the affidavit added.

It's hilarious how many "Fani beat the rap" false stories are being promoted on allegedly "mainstream" sites like MSN.
