Gangs in Middletown High School

According to Mr. Gonzalez, Middletown High School's former executive principal ,  90% of the behavioral problems in the High School are associated with  organized gangs. These gangs are local branches of National organizations.  Neither the seriousness nor the existences of this problem has ever been reported by Dr Eastwood to the public. The board was aware that the building decreased its security and no longer has SRO's. 


This situation is more disturbing given Mr. Estrada's announcement  that the High School administration has moved away from its security model.  Why would the district move away from its priority on security in light of its problem with gangs?  Dr. Eastwood  appears to have ignored this fact in his development of the his reorganization plan.  He previously admitted that he was aware that  Mr. Gonzalezr and other house principals were looking for other positions.  

The degree to which this information was taken into consideration by Dr. Eastwood in his reorganization of  the High School  administration can not be ascertained.  One would hope that his desire to change the High School's administration did not take priority over school security.
