Safe Campus Alliance has collected enough signatures to start the recall process for the president of the school board.Over the last year, there have been violent fights, stabbings and kids bringing weapons to school. Just last March, 16-year-old Jayden Pienta was stabbed to death during a fight with another student at Montgomery High. Stephanie Taylor has a sophomore at the school and heard the pleas to make the school safer.

But some parents CBS News Bay Area spoke with share his concerns.'I think weaponizing police officers against any community and especially communities of color, especially in school, which is for me where I want my children to be the safest, is not going to solve the problem,' parent Jenica Leonard said.Safety at schools is an issue the teacher's union has also been working on. Kathryn Howell is the president of the Santa Rosa Teacher's Association.
