California’s largest public school system voted Tuesday to cut a third of police officer positions and curtail the police powers of remaining officers.
The school board of the Los Angeles Unified School District approved a plan to eliminate 133 police positions following outcry against police during the George Floyd riots last summer. The school board also banned the use of pepper spray on students and took $25 million out of the police budget to go toward school programs for black students, according to the Los Angeles Times.
