We feel the discipline is lax and that the safety of the students is in question.

As a district, we're very impressed with the organization the students showed; we appreciate their discipline. The district administrators made an appearance to support them — its shows them we're listening.

We take the safety of our students as our No. 1 priority. We certainly don't like to hear these kinds of allegations being made.

Students have been informed that if they're walking alone, they can call ... and have public safety escort them. The Atlanta police along with public safety have been helpful in keeping the campus safe.

We've always dealt with unruly students. In the past, I think discipline was more severe and perhaps the code of conduct was followed more stringently.

The policy is intended to provide safety for our students, to act as a deterrent.
