School Board Members Ask City of Seattle Not to Clear Homeless Camps on School Property

 

SEATTLE — Parents are feeling increasingly frustrated over two homeless encampments near Seattle schools.

Some campers are actually on school property. With some students back in class this week, parents are worried about their kids’ safety.

“I just think it’s a recipe for disaster,” said Serena Evans, a parent. She’s the guardian for her nephew, who attends Broadview-Thomson Elementary in Seattle’s Bitter Lake neighborhood

Evans said she’s seen drug deals and fights. Parents say the school has now hired a security guard and locked a gate behind the playground. However, the gate also blocks one of the two walking paths to the school.
