Violence in schools: York Memorial and how the TDSB plans to respond

Guest: Isabel Teotonio, education reporter

After months of neglect and violent incidents, the situation at York Memorial Collegiate Institute has reached its breaking point. Students staged a walkout last week to point to the number of issues at their school that they say has made for an unsafe learning environment. Students, parents, teachers and the Toronto District School Board are focused on fixing the problems, but this dire situation also comes at a time when the board has just tabled a report looking at how to deal with the increasing incidents of violence in and around schools.
