Parents and students called for greater safety measures and transparency at the Michigan high school where four students were fatally shot in a mass shooting last year.
Nearly five months after the massacre at Oxford High School, a group of concerned parents and students said that those who attend the suburban Detroit school still do not feel safe.
Those who spoke during the emotional event said they have felt like their questions and concerns have not been addressed by the school. "Every day I pray that whatever conversation I have with my friends or anyone else isn't my last with them or my last conversation ever," he said."Every day I pray that I won't die on the high school floor because of the lack of caring they have shown towards me and my friends, the whole student body and teachers."
Parents also questioned the district's decision not to go on lockdown after the high school received several threats on Friday. Following the shooting, Weaver said the district has engaged with the community through meetings, phone calls, town halls, forums and surveys.
