Have you tried calling the parents?
Re: assualt and harassment
YOU have to involve the police if criminal behavior is going on. Even that isn't likely to help you much, unless show show of force convinces the aggressors to back off. You can speculate as well as anyone.
You might consider having your attorney contact the school to make the point you are serious about them taking protective action. There is no easy magic solution for your problem, because the public schools have little practical way of regulating conduct or stopping violence when it is widespread. Get all the other parents to join forces and make a strong showing to the school administration that they demand discipline and will support the school by helping with 'playground supervision'.
If your daughter is injured, she may have grounds for lawsuit, but that is dealing with the problem after the fact, not a good solution. Contact me if you need any such legal help.
Welcome to modern big city public education. Many parents chose to move their children to private schools or home schooling for these kinds of reasons. Support the call for school vouchers if you agree.
