Removal of police officers from non-public schools
Summary
Parents from All Saints Catholic Academy and Beacon Christian Academy are furious that officers were pulled from their schools with months left in the school year, while police cars still sit outside other religious sites. Councilwoman Weimmer says the funding is available to the principal via a request to the Board of Ed, and the council says it wasn't part of the decision.
