They should also go and arrest the man in charge of security at this High School, he is known among students for facilitating the key to the gym locker rooms where adult students 17 and 18 go to engage in sex with girls as young as 13 and 14 then they post pictures of them on groups they create on snapchat with names like Big A** Bit***s . I believe that this school has some code of silence because many people know but nobody says anything.
Beware of sending your kids to this school where they are pushed into having sex and drugs by older students and by the very same people who are supposed to be in charge of maintaining security and the integrity our kids .
Remember this is not the first time this happens here, this has been going on for a really long time.

The problem actually goes much higher than just the security at Knight High School. The previous security team members were all transferred to various locations because they sounded the alarm bell to the management. However, instead dealing with the problem, the district tried to hide the facts and move the security team members else where.
