School Board Expected to Add Security Aides
- Share via
The Burbank Board of Education, faced with protests from teachers about increased violence on school campuses, are scheduled to approve plans tonight to hire two additional campus security aides for each of Burbank’s two high schools.
The board will also consider recommendations from teachers to install more telephones at John Burroughs and Burbank high schools to help speed communications between classrooms and administrative offices, Supt. Arthur N. Pierce said.
Each high school already has one campus security aide and one unarmed, part-time police officer, Pierce said.
According to state statistics, campus attacks and assaults on Burbank students have increased more than sixfold since 1984.
