Two students wearing ski masks stormed a classroom at Casa Grande High School in Petaluma and attacked another student last month. Now parents, students and some teachers say they are not happy how the school handled the incident.
Many parents were furious that day, saying they weren't notified about the incident for hours after, and a lockdown wasn't initiated after the suspects got away. That outrage turned into action on Wednesday as parents and the district worked together to find solutions to the violence.
"The more I thought about it, the more it made me angry," said parent Jennifer Inden."That there was a lack of response and lack of accountability specifically in the school administration that we have a policy in place but we didn't put it into practice.""I can't be the only one angry about this," she said.
Since then, Inden has been active on social media, speaking out at public meetings and attending a roundtable discussion Wednesday night to address safety in schools. Assistant Superintendent of Petaluma City Schools Maite Iturri said she feels it's critical to partner with the community to find solutions.
"We really want to engage with our community and hear what they have to say and hear what kind of solutions they might have," said Iturri."We don't have all the answers."
