The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) shot down a proposal to allow police officers back on school campuses on Sept. 14.

In February 2021, LAUSD voted 4-2 to remove police officers from school campuses in response to the widespread protests against police brutality following the death of George Floyd. School-trained climate coaches were to replace the police to ensure school safety, following council’s orders.
