font-family:Arial'>The Forum on March 28, 2011 served a crowd of about 400
parents, staff and community members. It consisted of 14 minutes of
presentations from school and District administration and the Berkeley Police
Department before the floor was opened for comments and questions for a total
of two hours. Principal Scuderi told the crowd that one of the immediate steps
was to bring in two additional administrators and two additional safety
officers (in addition to the 12 safety officers normally assigned), and they
will continue after the break.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>The program has been divided into four half hour videos so
that the rest of the community can hear the issues, questions and ideas shared
in the forum. The BUSD Board of Education has called for a Special Meeting on Wednesday
March 30, 2011 to bring the discussion the issue of weapons on campus to the
Board level. The meeting is held in the Council Chambers, 2134 Martin Luther
King Jr. Way at 7:30 p.m., and is televised on Berkeley Cable Channel 33 and
broadcast on Radio KPFB 89.3, and will be posted on Vimeo.com.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
