WAUKEGAN, Ill. – The Waukegan School District 60 is investigating to determine why a local elementary school principal called police to handle a kindergarten student at the school
District and police officials refused to discuss with the Chicago Tribune why the principal at Andrew Cooke Magnet School called Waukegan Police, but confirmed the incident occurred around 10 a.m. on Jan. 5.cookeelementaryschool
“When a 6-year-old student, a kindergartner … when the police is called on a student, that lets us know that there is still much work that needs to be done,” community activist Christopher “Brotha” Blanks told board members at a meeting Tuesday. “If a teacher, or even a principal, has to call the police in before exhausting all possibilities in the educational realm, that is a real problem.”
