Early this week, several individuals contacted Black Westchester about a new Pat-Down Search Policy of every student daily at The Mount Vernon Steam Academy. We gathered a panel that included Dr. Kim Smith (Mount Vernon City School District (MVCSD) Acting Superintendent), Royce Russell (MVCSD Inhouse Counsel), Erica Peterson (MVHS PTA President), Mayo Bartlett (Civil Rights Attorney), Brenda L. Crump (Former MVCSD Trustee & Children/Family Advocate), and Isreal Williams (parent of a student at MV Steam Academy) to discuss this current policy and how to move forward. Check out this important courageous conversation and feel free to leave your feedback in the comment section.
