Baltimore City will launch a school-based violence intervention pilot program in three city schools starting next spring, Mayor Brandon Scott announced.

The first three city schools to participate in the program will be Mergenthaler Vocational Technical High School, Carver Vocational Technical High School, and Digital Harbor High School. They were all chosen based on the number of arrests, suspensions of students due to violence, specialist availability, and the ability for the school to support the program, according to city officials.
