Garfield High School in Seattle moved to remote learning Friday due to safety concerns after recent shootings in the neighborhood, as the nation recognizes Gun Violence Awareness Day. In a message to families and staff, Garfield High School Principal Tarance Hart announced Friday’s move to remote learning was “out of an abundance of caution.” All after-school, evening and weekend activities on the Garfield campus have also been canceled. The Teen Life Center was also closed Friday. “The safety and well-being of the Garfield community is our top priority,” Hart said in the message. “We know the increase in violence in our community has raised concerns for students, families, and staff.” The move to remote learning comes a day after school closed early due to “threats that appeared to be related to dismissal time and after school.” READ THE FULL STORY HERE: https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/seattle/garfield-high-remote-learning-recent-shootings-gun-violence-awareness-day/281-f2559108-adc4-4fa0-827c-669c4084deb1
