Bothell High School students walk out in support of resource officer program
BOTHELL — More than 200 Bothell High School students walked out of class Monday morning to protest the termination of the school’s school resource officer program.
On May 11, the Northshore school board voted 4-1 to end the school resource officer program. Board members who voted to end the program said they heard concerns from community members who were scared to publicly oppose the program.
Students who walked out Monday said they felt they weren’t heard by board members and that having a school resource officer on campus makes them feel safer.
Officer Garrett Ware has served as the school resource officer at Bothell since 2017. The school resource officer program had been in place for more than 30 years.
