My kids go to MV and some of the teachers did not lock there doors. Some of the kids said that there teachers did not react and did not close the doors. If this kid had any weapon this would have been a real mess.

Sounds like they still need to run the May 19th lockdown drill then if all teachers didn't follow the correct procedure...

It is very disrespectful to shove your mother out of the way and shove the police officer in front of her. He is BOLD and needs to be leashed.

Yeah, he was scared, and like a scared dog, you never know what to expect. I'm glad they locked down. My daughter goes to that school! If that kid was angry enough to shove his mother AND a cop, who is to say he wouldn't have hurt someone else?

I am honestly just glad that this "code red lockdown" occurred during class time, and not during brunch or lunch, because then kids would have really gotten violent no joke!!!

Ask yourself....What do I want for my future life? Do I want to be on the outside looking in? OR Do you want to be a happy healthy individual living as part of a successful growing community?

Take the advise of the people who care about you and get help.

I currently attend alta vista and the way you constructed this story makes it sound like he was some crazy murderer. The student in question was not a violent person. He didnt resist at first at all not until him mom came and started yelling at him. Thats when he pushed the officer out of the way and ran. He wasn't caught in some crazy tackle... it he was simpled talked out of running anymore by our principle.

I hope that parents are calling the administrators and strongly encouraging them to educate their teachers on the code red procedures. I wouldn't call it successful if they have teachers that don't know what to do.

The young man involved in this incident is a good kid, I have known him for years. I am truly sadden to see the events that have happened, but he needs emotional support and guidance in resolving some issues relating to his family life and I hope that he receives it.

As a PARENT of a STUDENT at MVHS, I am glad that the outcome of this incident was resolved wihtout violence, however, I really don't think it would have escalated to the point of violence. I really see this as a cry for help and I hope he gets it.

I think that those upset over how this was handled need to keep something in mind-- this isnt about the kid involved-- its about consistant safety protocols for the campus. Its not about THIS incident, but about a generic occurance.

If there is a 'real' threat to the student body, nobody wants administrators to spend time analyzing a specific kid or situation. Kid flees cop=Code Red. It should be an automatic, no-brainer. Better to error with an excess knee-jerk reaction than to regret inaction later, particularly when the downside of over-reaction is pretty minimal
