Everything went very smoothly today. We're very proud of the kids and the staff.
We're trying to work with the kids to show them the right ways to do this and to keep them in school.
Our police department keeps a pretty close watch with their gang-intervention officers, and the police chief (John Blackburn) said we have not seen an increase in gang activity. Kids still fight like they do anywhere in the country, but that doesn't mean it's a gang-related issue.
