Parents demand action to protect students from violence
During a recent school board meeting, a parent expressed deep concerns regarding the safety of students following a violent incident involving a murder linked to gang activity. The parent criticized the district's policies, questioning why students involved in the incident were still allowed to attend school. They emphasized the fear and anxiety felt by students who must share hallways with those they perceive as threats, calling for immediate action to remove these individuals from the educational environment.

The parent articulated a plea for accountability and change, stating that mere apologies from the superintendent were insufficient. They highlighted the need for protective measures to ensure the safety of all students, arguing that those involved in the violence should not be granted the privilege of continuing their education in the same system that has been violated.

Following this emotional appeal, the meeting transitioned to routine business, where the board approved the consent agenda, which included minutes from previous meetings, hiring and termination reports, and financial reports. A motion was made to discuss student overnight travel, but the majority of the agenda items were passed unanimously without further discussion.
