"Brockton School Officials Seek National Guard Aid to Address Disturbing Trends"

Members of the Brockton School Committee have written a letter to the city’s mayor, urging him to request National Guard support at Brockton High School due to safety concerns, including instances of students leaving school grounds without permission, violent altercations, and disruptions. The school officials believe the National Guard's expertise in crisis management and community support could provide a temporary intervention while a long-term solution is developed. This comes after recent incidents of violence at the school, including a fight that spread online and a previous stabbing incident.
