Los Angeles Adding 1,000 Campus Aides To Increase Security

The Los Angeles Times (1/28, Mather) reports, "The Los Angeles Unified School District plans to hire more than 1,000 campus aides to help boost security at elementary schools, a $4.2-million plan that will more than double the number of assistants employed by the district." The plan, the Times reports, "will bring 1,087 new hires to elementary, middle and span schools, ensuring each campus has at least two aides." The Times notes that the new hires "will receive mandatory training in child abuse awareness, mediating student conflicts, conducting a 'random metal detector search' and responding to campus threats" according to district documents.
