[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gun violence near Washington, D.C.’s public and charter schools doubled since 2014, outpacing other U.S. cities like Milwaukee, Memphis, Detroit, and Atlanta.

Since 2017, school-adjacent shootings have declined in Baltimore while Washington experienced an overall rise.

The 10 district public schools with the most shootings nearby all have majority Black student populations. Ketcham Elementary School topped the list with a whopping 195 nearby shootings in the past decade.

As DC implements the $1.1 billion cuts in DC's expenditure of DC tax revenue caused by House Republican leadership's refusal to move S. 1077--which would allow DC to continue to operate with funds allocated for FY25--that will result in further cuts in law enforcement, which will mean more violence and shootings in DC.

True and it’s going to mean serious decrease in overall funding for schools, forcing them to cuts lots of support and extras.

Title 1 schools like MA will be hit the hardest.[/quote]
