San Jose parents, teachers call for safety task force

Parents and teachers in the San Jose Unified School District are demanding district leaders take action to address a recent string of shooting threats.

Almost 300 teachers, parents and residents across the largest school district in Santa Clara County have signed a petition from Abraham Lincoln High School parent Trudi McCanna and English teacher Elizabeth Neely. They want the school board to come up with a communication plan and community task force, as well as an assessment of safety equipment, including cameras and intercom systems, and any needed repairs.
