In an email to parents Saturday morning, East High School principal Terita Walker provided answers to parents’ safety questions in the wake of the shooting at the school last month
The email was in response to questions from parents during a community meeting on Monday. Parents have demanded more transparency from the district regarding safety protocols after the March 22 shooting at East High School that wounded two deans, Jearld Mason and Eric Sinclair.
In Saturday’s email to parents, Walker provided an explanation from district leaders as to why students who are on a pat-down procedure are allowed to attend classes. After the shooting, the Denver Public School Board of Education not only suspended a controversial policy that removed school resource officers from all Denver high schools in 2020 but also directed the district’s superintendent, Dr. Alex Marrero, to come up with a long-term safety plan by the end of the summer.
