Committee members at a Massachusetts school have requested that the National Guard be brought in to deal with unruly students 'causing chaos'.
Violence and security concerns have been raised at Brockton High School, with 11 students arrested and criminally charged just last week after a brawl in the school.
Committee members Joyce Asack, Tony Rodrigues, Claudio Gomes and Ana Oliver requested immediate assistance last week 'to prevent a potential tragedy'.
Their letter said: 'Over the past few months, our high school has experienced a disturbing increase in incidents related to violence, security concerns, and substance abuse.
‘The situation has reached a critical point, more recently we had an alarming 35 teachers absent, underscoring the severity of the challenges we are facing.’ The letter added: 'We are formally requesting that you reach out to Governor Healey and request the deployment of the National Guard to assist in restoring order, ensuring the safety of all individuals on the school premises, and implementing measures to address the root causes of the issues we are facing.'
Cellphone footage obtained by NBC Boston shows students fighting in a stairwell at the school.
Several individuals can be seen throwing punches and attacking each other during the melee.
Earlier this month, teachers voiced their concerns during an emergency committee meeting and shared their experiences.

The world needs ditch diggers, too.
If you don’t want to be in school, leave
It’s that simple
This is the school version of the city “broken windows” theory. Don’t address the small problems. Then the next thing you know, you’ve got big problems.
I taught at an urban high school for quite some time. It was okay at first. The administrators knew what they were doing.
Then the wiz kid administrators took over. The little problems were ignored. Students came late to class, students used their cell phones in class, etc. We teachers send reports in. Administration ignored the reports. Gotta look good on paper. So keep those suspension numbers down.
Then everybody was oh so surprised when the school fell apart.
Discipline would have a disparate outcome.
Make prayer illegal. Bake for 20 years.
“no STATE Police???”
Take a look at the school on DM’s website. It’s a large campus. They would need a lot of officers. Makes sense to send in the cavalry.
The public school is beyond repair.
That is what I’m thinking too. It’s a lost cause.
They should return to single-sex schools.
In co-ed schools, even for civilized people, 95% of the time is spent pursuing or thinking of the other sex. In a single-sex school, that drops to 90%, doubling productivity.

Except for all the homos, though.
LOL. Hobbes talked about man’s life in a state of nature with no law enforcement as being nasty, brutish and short. A teenager’s life in the state of nature with no law enforcement is cutting class, sex and drugs.
But she was White and oppressing that po' black child./sarc
Anybody know the Army National Guard MOS number for Babysitter/Nanny? /s
The education “system” gets government $$ for every butt in a classroom chair. They want them there, but now have a bit of a conundrum since they have no ability to punish behavior.
That’s more like china.
I feel the USA is following The Brave New World.
Keep everyone fat and happy and they will do what they are told.
For now.
Probably a majority of the students have reached legal adulthood. Personally I think it should be made easier for those 17 and older to leave H.S.. Instead of laws meant to keep them in school (such as delaying D.L) schools should stop being a warehouse especially of those for whom H.S. is pointless.
Brockton High was a rough place in 1977. We played them in a pre season scrimmage every other year. They were monsters on the football field.
It reminded me of Hartford High. The kids across the line looked like they were 25. And angry. Ha ha.
