Students also have been instructed to gather in groups of no more than four to prevent similar incidents. ``We don't allow kids in groups of 10 or 12 to march around all together,'' Hutak said. ``It's just not appropriate.'' When a group of students disobeyed the small group rule late last week, two students were suspended, Hutak said. Although most students are obeying the new rule, some have questioned it. ``They don't really enforce it,'' said student Katrina Rennells. ``They just use the rule as an excuse to break up certain people.'' Hutak has also sent home a letter to parents, explaining the Dec. 8 incident and what was being done to remedy the situation. He also met with a small group of concerned parents who came to the school. ``He gave parents the straight story,'' said Jody Froelich, president of the Burbank High School PTSA PTSA Parent Teacher Student Association PTSA P-Toluenesulfonic Acid PTSA Prevention Through Service Alliance PTSA Petroleum Transportation and Storage Association PTSA Pre-Task Safety Analysis . ``He told parents that they were being very proactive.'' School officials will use hand-held video cameras to record any more disruptions on campus. Since the new measures have been implemented, there have been no further altercations, Hutak said. ``We want school to be a safe place,'' he said. |
