Jerusalem Schools Shutdown over Terror Fears
As security concerns continues to rise in Israel, high schools in Jerusalem have called a strike on Thursday, as parents and school administrators decry the limited security supplied by the Education Ministry at schools.
Security guards, according to parents and administrators, have been going off duty before the end of classes, leaving children vulnerable to terrorists, who could easily access school buildings and carry out attacks.
The PTA said the Jerusalem Municipality completely supports their position, and in discussions with it has told parents that the issue is a matter of money, and that more government funds were needed to keep the guards on duty longer.
