‘It has become very unsafe:’ Teachers, students demand change at Brockton High School

Boston 25 obtained a new video showing a fight inside Brockton High School where students and teachers say fights are a daily occurrence.

“It has become very unsafe being at the school teaching and the students as well,” said Nora Acevedo a Brockton High School teacher.

Last May another violent incident was reported and investigated at the school afte r three students were stabbed.

Acevedo says she witnessed another brawl firsthand.

“I was the only one in the cafeteria at the moment. There were supposed to be two teachers but the other supervisor was absent. A fight broke out with girls wandering the hallways they came in to attack another girl in the cafeteria,” said Acevedo.

The school committee held a special meeting to hear concerns and they got an earful.

One student said most bathrooms are closed due to safety concerns.

“Most days there are only 1 or 2 bathrooms available to use at BHS that’s 3900 students and only about 4 bathrooms open a day,” said Lydia Bloodsworth who is a Senior at Brockton High School.
