Of course, no school would want to be sued for not being able to protect their students, staff and faculty from POTENTIAL harm.

It would seem to me, that if MS13 is within 6 blocks of a school; the prudent man would: require more armed personnel on the school grounds, a fence should go up around the school, maybe cement blocks should be put in strategic areas, a metal detector should be installed, the police should be REQUIRED to give your school extra daily patrols and radio log them after each one, and any students with gang affiliations should be suspended from school. That's for starters.

First off, nobody cares about lawsuits originating from the inner city. That sounds harsh, but it's a fact.

My school has always been pretty tough and already has a fence with iron bars (no chain link here!) and curved at the top, not outward, but inward to prevent ummmm "escapes." There are part time school cops that are armed, but none of the security types are armed and the regular cops only appear on campus to make arrests. School was built in 1933 so it's already a fortress. The cops are busy full time with SWAT calls etc. Sirens are an hourly fixture already. The cops won't just come and hang out! Such is life in the Big (inner) City.

Gang affiliates are supposed to be suspended, but in reality that's not done and if it were, we'd have to transfer teachers to other possibly worse schools, because the school population would decline.
