"Brockton High School Controversy: Calls for National Guard Deployment Amid Safety Concerns"

Four Brockton School Committee members have requested the deployment of the National Guard at Brockton High School due to an increase in violent and drug-related incidents, while many city leaders, including the mayor, oppose the idea. City councilors argue that school administrators should do more to address disciplinary issues and truancy, and that the divided school committee needs to work together to find solutions. Some councilors believe that the school's administrators have failed to enforce rules consistently, while others emphasize the need for parental involvement in addressing disciplinary issues. The school committee's internal divisions have also been cited as a factor contributing to the challenges faced by the school.
