The recent stabbing incident at the Lindenhurst Middle School has sparked outrage among parents who feel that the school board is not doing enough to ensure the safety of their children.
The Lindenhurst school board has said they are ramping up security after a stabbing on Monday, but parents are arguing that it's too little, too late.
"The letter is reactive," said parent Jeannie Sailer. "I was looking for proactive. Most of our board members are out of touch with what’s going on in our schools. We need more parents here who have children on the board." But parents say the school board isn't listening to them, and that emails, calls, and attempts from parents to speak at board meetings have fallen on deaf ears.
