'We're taking steps in the proper direction... But it's not done... This isn't full accountability,' one Black Forest Hills Elementary School parent said.
"We're taking steps in the proper direction... But it's not done... This isn't full accountability," one Black Forest Hills Elementary School parent said.AURORA, Colo. — Amid mounting pressure from parents and a petition demanding action, Black Forest Hills Elementary School Principal Amanda Replogle will no longer hold her position. The move comes in the wake of an incident where a man attempted to grab a child during recess, sparking concerns over school safety protocols.
“Immediately after that, the third grade went out . The person is still on the loose. They didn't even call 911… Like, how does this even happen?” said White.He said his son, and many others, experienced trauma from the incident, unable to return to school for several days. White appreciates the initial change in leadership as a positive first step, but emphasized the need for comprehensive safety measures, including improved fencing, surveillance, and better training for resource officers. Even though his son will move on to the middle school next year, he says school leaders should be held accountable.
District security has worked with Black Forest Hills staff to review all security protocols, including the district’s Standard Response Protocol and criteria for when to call a SECURE status.
