District 20 & 21 – Safe School Districts in NY
District 20 and 21 were named in the list of the safest school districts in NY State. District 20 was #11 out of 670. It sounds good, but one serious incident could happen in any district.
District 21 was #21 on the list. On February 15th, IS 281 Joseph B. Cavallaro School at 8787-24th Avenue had a 14-year-old student taken into police custody after he told a teacher that he planned to “shoot up the school.” (Source) So is District 21 still 21 or did is fall lower?
On February 14th around 4:00 pm, two 16-year-old male teens at the Brooklyn Prospect Charter School at 3002 Fort Hamilton Parkway (it’s across the street from Sean Casey Animal Rescue) threatened to kill their classmates over Snapchat. They said, “Don’t come to school tomorrow. We are gunning you down.” (Source) There was mention of a picture of an AR-15 type weapon. More here and here The teens were arrested.
