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 alongside their peers.

The speaker emphasized the fear and anxiety felt by students who must confront those associated with the violence daily, calling for immediate action to remove these individuals from the school environment. \"Their presence is a threat to the safety and a reminder of violence that this district has allowed,\" the parent stated, urging the superintendent to implement real changes rather than offering apologies.

The meeting then transitioned to routine business, where the board approved a consent agenda that included minutes from previous meetings, hiring and termination reports, and financial documents. A motion was made to discuss student overnight travel, which was subsequently removed from the agenda for further consideration. The board unanimously passed the remaining items without further discussion.
