School Violence Plan Focuses On Potential Victims

The new cheif officer of pulic schools in chicago, Ron Huberan, has generated a new plan to provide safety and prevent killings within the school community. His plan consists of analysis of statistics and probability of the students in the school districts. If his plan goes the way he wants it to about 10,000 students with the highest risk lives will be better off. The plan is to give them a job to fill up time and to also provide them with an adult in the community that they can consult with that is on call 24 hours a day. It is financed by a two year stimulus plan from the government and will cost about $60 million. The studdies consisted of shootings, gangfights, and inschool activity. The results were that most of the fighting and shooting happened in a two hour window from the begining and end of school. They also plan to keep track of where gangs are located throughout the day. This plan came with controversy that parents generated because it only affects 10,000 students out of 85,000. The school district will be spending about $30 million a year on just these 10,000 students.
