Reports: Stationing police in Philly schools costly, causes trauma for students of color [whyy.org]

The Advancement Project and the Alliance for Educational Justice want police out of schools, according to their new report.

Philadelphia was among the cities featured in the report, but idea of removing school police for some city parents is just unthinkable.
