Just attended the Local School Council meeting at McCutcheon Elementary and the chair quickly adjourned the meeting after I asked during public comment about the incident of a four-year-old student being dragged by a cop at the school.
There were several other people signed up to speak but the chair refused to continue with public comment and quickly adjourned the meeting.
Initially, there wasn't even a motion presented to adjourn. She just said the meeting had to adjourn.

When I asked why the meeting had to adjourn, they said it was because report card pick-up was happening. I asked why they scheduled an LSC meeting at 11am on a Wednesday knowing that they couldn't be on for longer than 45 minutes. No answer.
At a school like McCutcheon where 13% of the student population is in a temporary living situation, 94% are low-income students, and 42% are Black students, I'm concerned that members of the public were not able to inquire about the abuse of a child on school grounds.
