Just saw this last night - looks pretty widespread and good numbers going out. Anyone on here close to any of this?

Yep a bunch of schools in my area (Riverside County, CA) have had walk-outs. My school is a bit isolated from the other schools so there isn't much of an activist population. They've also been locking all the doors in the afternoons and increased the amount of security personnel in response to the walkouts.

Wouldn't it be against fire regulations to lock all the doors?

If you or anyone you know has been involved in the walkouts we'd love to do an interview for libcom news.

Yeah we could just write down a list of questions and email them to lots of people...

Worth a look - I'd think fire regulations for schools ought to be pretty clear cut and easy to find - if they're locking fire exits then you can probably sue wink
