Despite a fatal shooting outside Benito Juarez high school in Pilsen last week, teachers, parents and students said Thursday they do not want police officers stationed inside the school, though some said they would like to see a greater security presence outside before and after school.

A special Local School Council meeting was held Thursday to focus on safety and security following the shooting. Much of the discussion centered on whether police officers should be brought back to Juarez. The Zoom meeting was attended by 100 people.
