Teachers Principals School Board Anthropologist Sociologist

If you are short on time, read the above one first.

I am assuming that the decision makers have a background in anthropology and sociology. Both of those disciplines have an understanding of the behavioral influences on populations brought on by overpopulation and mixing of cultures.

I know that law enforcement has been brought in (reactive). Is there any consultation with the above mentioned professionals (proactive) ?

I applaud the District for at least being honest that there is a problem. I encourage the District to look outside themselves to gain insight. Trying hard is an element of success, but must be with done with true analysis of one's efforts. The sincerity of the intent is not a justification for not reaching one's goal.
