Officials at the Boys Latin Charter School speak out after last week's shooting outside of Roxborough High School left students questioning their safety.
On Friday, Dr. Hayes says they moved the football game from 7 p.m. to 3 p.m., which is a change they may continue to make moving forward.
Jamarr Williams, a senior and varsity football captain, would have loved to have the "Friday night lights" experience, but he says safety is more important to him. Robert Teemer, a fellow senior and president of the student government, also got candid about his safety. Boys Latin lost six students to gun violence in the past five years, including a football player just last summer. Dr. Hayes says losing students to violence carries a persistent trauma and while it's difficult to hear what his students say about their safety, he's moved by hope for change.
