Hot off the presses: Berkeley High's safety plan is "fundamentally flawed" with "'safety gaps that pose considerable risk to students and staff," a new report says.

The Berkeley High School Safety Committee — which is made up of parents, teachers, school staff and a student — is set to discuss the 21-page draft report in a public meeting today, Feb. 6, at 4:30 p.m.

The Scanner will be there. Find the rundown and meeting details below. 

Apologies for the late notice. We will continue to cover this critical issue.
