NAACP's Valley president set to meet Burbank High School officials over concerns about ethnic violence on and off campus

Sharon Y. Garrett, the president of the NAACP's San Fernando Valley branch, posts a story today on valleynews.com about a meeting she is set to have April 5 with officials at Burbank High School. The issue -- violence among Armenians, African Americans and others on and off campus. She has been getting angry letters from parents complaining about Armenian students challenging others to fights, and blaming school administrators and police for not protecting students and not punishing the culprits. This issue has been brewing under the surface for quite a while now. Maybe this will open up some dialogue. Read the story here.
