PV Parents Call on School Board to Resolve Threat of Murder Suspect Attending PV High School
The Daily Breeze reports on a parent group upset that PV High allowed a suspect in a gang murder to continue attending PV High. From the article:
On Monday, attorney Jeffrey Lewis said about a dozen parents forming the group Residents Against Gangs at School sent a letter to the Palos Verdes Peninsula school board asking for Terrell to be removed from campus and home-schooled, or transferred to a continuation school. He said the district was \”needlessly exposing itself to moral and financial liabilityย should any harm befall any student due to Terrell’s continued attendance atย school.\”
\”The Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School Districtย has been silent about what steps are being taken to protect Palos Verdes children from Terrell and his accomplices,\” the letter said. \”While Terrell does enjoyย the presumption of innocence in a court of law, there are serious safetyย concerns raised by Terrell’s continued attendance at school. At best, Terrell isย a distraction to teachers, staff and other students.ย At worst, most lawย enforcement officers would say that allowing an 18-year old gang memberย suspected of a felony to attend a high school presents a clear and presentย danger to other students.\”
