More than 100 new security cameras have been installed in the Philadelphia high school where racially-charged violence led to a weeklong walkout by Asian students.
Philadelphia schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman told City Council on Monday that 126 security cameras have been installed throughout South Philadelphia High School.
Ackerman says the cameras cover every part of the building except the bathrooms. The school had 23 security cameras before the rash of attacks last year.
Off-campus and lunchroom attacks injured about 30 Asian students in December, sparking a weeklong boycott.
The violence prompted the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund to file a civil rights complaint with the Justice Department.
