CLEVELAND -- Mayor Jane Campbell announced Monday that there are plans to implement a police presence in Cleveland Municipal schools, NewsChannel5 reported.

The announcement comes after recent fights at John F. Kennedy and South High schools. In one fight, an assistant principal was knocked unconscious after being hit with a chair. Several students were suspended as well.

The plan calls for four additional officers in each district and six officers added to the narcotics unit.

Campbell said she believes drugs are responsible for an increase in fights at local schools.

Campbell said each police district will work in conjunction with the schools in the area. The Regional Transit Authority police will also be involved in the effort because Campbell said many times fights begin in the community or at the bus stop.

Cleveland schools used to have a police presence. WEWS reported budget cuts caused the police presence to be eliminated.
