The Urban Assembly School For Wildlife Conservation is located at 2024 Mohegan Avenue, Bronx, New York.
“There was a recipe for disaster at the Urban Assembly School For Wildlife Conservation. First, metal detectors were not installed in a school in which, in 2016, 81% of teachers reported not feeling safe, 45% of students did not feel safe, and there were two incidents of harassment with weapons," said Rubenstein.
"Second, the school failed to follow the 'Dignity for all Students Act', a New York State statute which requires certain protocol to be followed regarding bullying which were not followed with regard to Abel Cedeno. Third, teachers were negligent in the supervision of students in the history classroom when Matthew McCree was fatally stabbed.”
