RALEIGH — Several videos of students fighting in a Guilford County high school have raised concerns about student and school staff safety in recent months. Guilford County schools also had security and fight issues last school year. In May, eight people, including a parent, attacked a 14-year-old female student in the middle of class at Southern Guilford High School. Richey was hired by Guilford County schools in July of this year after previously working as the deputy chief of police in the Greensboro Police Department. In June 2020, the Greensboro City Council approved cutting $500,000 to fund SRO’s in Guilford County Schools.
