School Officials, Police Confront Fears and Rumors About Safety at Darien High
|
A rumor about someone threatening to harm classmates at Darien High School. A history teacher saying she won’t work on April 20, as a protest about school shootings and gun control. Students discussing whether to walk out on March 14 as part of a national protest that day. Those are some of the things Darien school district officials and police are busy dealing with, two weeks after high school students were massacred in Parklands, Fla. and days after police elsewhere in the country responded to reports of threats or allegations of suspicious comments from students indicating that they wanted to shoot up their own schools.
