“I was absolutely terrified," Franklin High School senior Natalya McConnell said. "This was the second school shooting in a little over a year."
“We still only have one mental health counselor for 1,300 students at Franklin,” she explained. “Students, if they had access to a mental health counselor or they had trusted adults they could talk to any time they needed, they would not go to a place of violence.” "Counselors at Garfield and across the school district are overworked, and appointments with the school's therapist are hard to come by," the letter states. "The city has a responsibility to protect students and prevent school shootings."there will be more police patrols in the Garfield neighborhood, and he acknowledged the need for even more supports.
