The principal of Perkins K-8 said students are seeing things they shouldn't be seeing every day when they walk to school. "They don’t just encounter feces on the sidewalk, they see people actually in the process of defecating into bags on the sidewalk. They see putting people putting needles into their arms, they'll see people inside the tents with scary animals, scary dogs, pit bulls. They’ll see people brandishing weapons and threatening one another as they’re walking to school," said Principal Fernando Hernandez. He announced this during a news conference with Mayor Todd Gloria Tuesday morning outside the school. "These children are witnessing drug use, violence, sex acts, public defecation and urination on a daily basis," said Mayor Gloria. "What’s happening at Perkins, is not just at Perkins. Sadly, this is the experience for many of our children at schools across our city." Mayor Gloria is urging the city council to pass the proposed Unsafe Camping Ordinance, which bans homeless encampments in public spaces if there are shelter beds available. It also bans them within two blocks of schools and parks, even if there are no shelter beds available.
