The Seattle School District (SDS) will consider measures for student safety and school consolidations at Board Meeting Wednesday night.
Escalating violence in and around Seattle’s Garfield High School has prompted the district to consider new security measures ahead of its board meeting Wednesday night.
“This violence has deeply affected us and re-injured our already grieving community still grappling with the impact of similar acts of gun violence,” Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Brent Jones wrote inThe school district said it’s considering requiring clear backpacks and ID badges on campuses. Jones said there could be no more open lunchtime either — campuses would close during the lunch periods, and there may be more security around the schools.
He explained that at Wednesday’s meeting, consolidation would not be announced; only the parameters for making the decision would be outlined.
