Parents and police officials are urging Los Angeles schools to restore greatly reduced staffing levels of on-campus cops who were replaced by “climate coaches” — as new figures show reports of physical bullying have more than doubled. The union representing Los Angeles School Police officers has thrown its weight behind furious parents’ demands to reinstate full-time cops on all campuses following the death of Xavier Nungaray-Martinez, 17, who jumped from a fourth-floor balcony at Franklin High School in Highland Park after a classroom fight caught on video. The calls come five years after the LA Unified School District slashed $25 million from its school police budget — axing 133 positions, or 28% of the force — and redirecting money toward a $36.
