Responding to the deadly shooting at Ingraham High School, students across Seattle are planning to walk out of classes Monday.
Ingraham students Nevaeh Davis and Tenie Friberg say the walkout is to raise gun violence awareness and to encourage greater transparency from Seattle Public Schools.“The school district didn’t send out anything until about 11 , which is about the time that they found the suspect,” said Davis. “I feel like Seattle Public Schools in general isn’t taking this as seriously as it should.”
Tenie Friburg agrees. That lack of communication is part of why she’s decided to rally Monday outside City Hall. “Obviously, there’s a lot going around about our school and what has happened, but there’s also a lot of miscommunication about what actually went on,” said Friburg. Davis believes SPS could have invested taxpayer dollars into enhancing security at Ingraham High School instead of improving on-campus sports facilities.
“Metal detectors, more security in general,” said Davis. “If I have to go to school an hour earlier just to get my backpack checked, just to make sure everyone doesn’t have any weapons, I would be perfectly fine to do that.”
