A group of parents say they're upset that the Perry Community School District seemingly ignored a petition to discuss safety measures at the school district in the wake of the fatal shooting last year. The petition, signed by more than 700 people, asked for preventative safety measures such as secured entryways at each of the district's three schools, weapon/metal detectors at entryways, a no-bag or clear/mesh bag policy on school grounds and police presence on-site during school hours. That number of signatures, under state law, would force the item to the school board's agenda for discussion. But the parents say — and past agendas and minutes show — that never happened. Former Perry resident Miranda Cumming, who started the petition, said the district's lack of response has parents scared to send their children back to Perry schools. Some parents have enrolled their children in other districts. Tap the link in our bio for more on this story. #Iowa #PerryIowa #SchoolShooting
