Highland Park residents continue to demand enhanced safety measures in Township High School District 113. They are calling for metal detectors and more armed security.
A parental advocacy group held a rally Tuesday where they pleaded for improved security at Highland Park High School, ahead of a board meeting for the local school district.
School security discussions have hit a boiling point in District 113 after last summer's parade shooting and after a student brought a gun to the Highland Park High School in April.
Some parents and students in the Highland Park area are demanding the installation of metal detectors, and want Township High School District 113 to hire armed security as mass shootings continue to inflict death and fear around the country.
