Phoenix School Safety Under Fire

A Phoenix Union High School district is facing a $28 million wrongful death lawsuit after a 16-year-old student was fatally stabbed on campus last August. The family blames the district for fostering a culture of violence and failing to prevent the attack, citing the removal of school resource officers in 2020 and ineffective weapons detection systems that missed the knife used in the stabbing. Despite the legal battle, the district recently approved bringing back 15 school resource officers starting in 2026–2027, as part of a new safety initiative.
