The Collingswood Public Schools is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Collingswood, in Camden County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
For a $36 ($74 adjusted for inflation) monthly fee students could take Spanish or French classes.
The incident has brought attention to a school district policy of involving armed law enforcement officers to deal with all school discipline matters including name calling, resulting in up to five police visits a day according to Superintendent Scott Oswald.
According to media reports, students are denied access to their parents and legal counsel during law enforcement interrogations, which take place within the school.
