Description
Leaders in the Seattle Public School system, Seattle Police Offices, parents and students met Thursday night to discuss how to make schools safer.
The conversation highlighted frustrations about outdated systems used to support kids, school resource officers and overall building security.
"Right now we're killing each other and that hurts me," said one student. "I feel like right now we don't really want to make a change. We're just talking about making a change. Actions speak louder than words."
The conversation was filled with urgency from a community looking for more action to keep kids safe, however, the dialogue was about how.
"What worked for me when I was your age is not going to work for these kids coming out now," said Ted Howard the assistant superintendent of Strategy and Climate for Seattle Public Schools, "We're here to help support you so you can figure out what you want and need so you can help guide us so we can help you."
