The principal of Frisco’s Reedy High School says they’ve designated a time and a place for those who choose to walk out that would be least disruptive to the school’s schedule.
Any protests outside of that time could result in disciplinary action.
Meantime, at Dallas’ Bishop Lynch High School students are taking a ‘walk-with’ approach during an event dubbed ‘A Triumph Over Tragedy.’
Their vision is not to protest, but rather to come together as a community to pray for positive change in our world. the eventy will include silent walk around the school track —-to honor school violence victims.
Bishop Lynch High School is planning a special student-led tribute on Friday, April 20, to mark the 19th anniversary of the Columbine High School shooting.
