BROCKTON – Businesses near Brockton High School are altering their weekday afternoon policies for the upcoming school year because of recent issues with student behavior in the area.

A new Starbucks opened on Belmont Street in recent weeks, right across from the high school.

Brockton Police Lt. Paul Bonanca spoke about ongoing issues in the area during a school committee meeting earlier this month.

"I met with management at that [Starbucks] location. In the past we've had some issues with some of the local businesses, the ones that are across or near the high school. They're going to take some measures, close between the hours of 1 and 3 when the kids get out," he said. "Just because when kids congregate, the areas that are closest to the high school it seems to be more of a concentrated area of those that congregate. So they're going close between 1 and 3 right now. We'll see what happens with that, but the drive-thrus will be open."
