Natalya McConnell, an 18-year-old member of the Seattle Student Union and senior at Franklin High School, has been vocal about the need for these resources."There's not a lack of money right now. It's about what our elected officials, Mayor Bruce Harrell, does with that money, and we're trying to put the pressure on him to actually use that money," McConnell said.
"Instead, students are calling for the $20 million allocated for mental health counselors to be utilized. This funding, which students secured in November after a shooting at Ingraham High School, is currently tied up and requires city council action to be spent.Miles Sagiopian, a freshman at Franklin High School and member of the Seattle Student Union, echoed McConnell's concerns.
