The Oakland Unified School District in California voted in a board meeting that it would no longer station any police officer on its campuses.

The school board members on Wednesday unanimously agreed on the “George Floyd Resolution,” which calls to disband the school district’s police force of 10 sworn officers and 50 unarmed school safety officers.
