“I’m glad that we actually took initiative and we actually got the time today to share our voice,” said Ingraham student Naomi Armstrong. “Nobody should come to school and feel scared and feel nervous.”
“We need Ingraham to change what they’re doing. Obviously, they’re doing things wrong considering how this happened and the aftermath of it as well,” a Seattle Public Schools student said.
SPS Superintendent Dr. Brent Jones says he plans to form a community action team to help determine what can be immediately done to improve the safety of Seattle’s schools. The district claims it’s also considering limiting access to schools installing buzzer systems or key cards, as well as increasing monthly emergency drills.
Outside the school’s entrance sits a small memorial of flowers and candles. Robert Gardner lives near the school and says things have felt different in the community since.He says each night that he walks by, he makes sure the candle there stays lit. It’s a small gesture he hopes can help the healing process.
