Everyone with a television knows what happened at Virginia Tech. Does anyone know about Todd Beamer HS in Federal Way, Washington. I was mortified at what happened there on Thursday because my 15 yr old daughter is a freshman there. A boy was caught 3rd period with 3 loaded guns.They were in lock down for about 1 1/2 hrs Everyone knew it had something to do with guns via texting. My daughter was terrified,this incident of course was all over the news & only because of what happened at Virginia Tech. The bomb threat they had last year did not make the news or even the local paper, neither did the death threat to one of the teachers or the incident with a car pulling up to the school with guns, ammo, cocaine, a machete & baseball bat This school district does not provide lockers at all .I’d of felt better had the guns been contained in a locker and not being packed around from class to class. Is there anything that can be done to force them to supply lockers?This is a safety risk
Go to your school board meetings and demand action. They are the ones you need to ask.
I agree with you. I was completely mortified when I saw the news report “live” about what was happening in Federal Way. I imagine if enough people go to the school board then they will have to do something about it. It’s ridiculous that there arn’t metel detectors on campus, or even more security. God Bless the girl who reported this. Who knows what horrors might have unfolded in our own state if that boy had not been caught.
This is not about lockers, this is about safety. Our school does not allow anything but mesh or see through book bags, no coats of any type are allowed. No hoodies are allowed. I would think lockers would be a good idea so the students did not have to carry bookbags or their coats. BY the way, we also limit the size of girls purses.
