According to district reports the student who shot to death a fellow student at Ingraham High School on November 8th had previously brought a gun and a knife to school and was possibly not expelled due to the districts policy 3240.
Seattle Public Schools recognizes:
- Every student has the right to the high quality instruction, supports, and interventions that they need to graduate high school on time and prepared for the future;
- Racial dis proportionality persists in disciplinary responses in the district;
- Students are impacted when they are removed from their learning environment;
- Situations involving discipline may be complex and require staff to understand underlying factors that are influencing students behaviors and;
- Mitigating and aggravating factors should influence the disciplinary decision-making process.

Supplementary Goal#1
During the 22-23 school year Ingraham High school will decrease the disproportionality of discipline in BIPOC/FFEJ student populations from 3.4% to 1.5% as measured by the atlas data dashboard.

At some point we need adults running these buildings and perhaps if there were adults running Ingraham the shooter would have been expelled the previous month and a young man would be celebrating graduating.
