Elmwood Park High School is hosting a meeting over its response to a student bringing a gun to school last week. Hundreds are expected to attend.
The meeting comes two days after Elmwood Park students walked out of class to protest the administration's handling of an incident last week involving a 17-year-old male student who police said they arrested and charged with possession of a handgun.
No one was injured in the incident, but some said the school should have immediately been placed on lockdown, and students and teachers should have been told sooner about what happened. "I think moving forward it's going to be all about gaining trust back in this community. How do we start to have more trust between the administration, the students, the schools, and the teachers?" said Emily Long, alumnus and former school district employee.
