Students return to a school in South Boston Monday after a .45 caliber bullet was found in one of the bathrooms last week.
"Due to the serious public safety threat to the students, faculty, and our community," the city councilors say they contacted the Boston Police Department, which confirmed a bullet had been found.
"When school leadership fails to take potential incidents of violence and hate seriously, it creates an environment that is indifferent to violence and inappropriate behavior," the councilors said in their statement."All of our children deserve to be in a safe, stable, and welcoming learning environment at our Boston Public Schools."
Two city councilors allege the principal of Condon Community School prevented police from immediately sweeping the building after the discovery of the bullet. "The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority at BPS," the district said in a statement."Contrary to inflammatory statements from public officials, within minutes of both incidents school leadership immediately reported these incidents, and BPS safety services and Boston Police were on site to ensure the appropriate steps were taken and there was no immediate threat to the school.
