EVERETT, Wash. — Educators, parents, and students nationwide are dealing with violence from students on campus.

Where's this coming from? Kids fighting in school hallways, classrooms, and parking lots across the country and in western Washington.

The Everett School District (ESD) is in the spotlight for the number of fights reported at its schools this past year - 410, according to data reported to the State Superintendent's Office.

One hundred sixty-eight of those at Evergreen Middle School - causing a dozen serious injuries. But Everett’s, by far, is not the only district with violent fights.

“I’m here to speak about the violence in our schools,” proclaimed Nicole Ruttenberg, at a Shoreline School Board meeting, on June 20. “School administration and leaders need to stop using their power to influence students to keep quiet when they see injustice.”

Several parents from Shoreline and other Washington school districts have told KOMO News that their districts are not reporting violence, calling police when necessary, or disciplining students when necessary.

“There have been multiple incidents at Shorecrest this year, including an unprovoked recorded attack, an attack recorded by security cameras, and witnessed by many students,” said Ruttenberg.

That surveillance video was not released by the school publicly, but the mother of one of the students attacked did watch it.

“It just shows everything. Please listen to the words ‘I should shoot you,” said Renee Calm, whose son was attacked during that fight.

Calm's now attended several board meetings pleading for action from the Shoreline School Board and district administration after a fight on campus forced her son into the operating room.

“My own family has experience on mistakes that were made when my son was brutally and unprovoked assaulted,” said Calm.

There’s growing concern that the violence will only escalate, from throwing fists to firing bullets.

“Average age of the student who brings a firearm to school at 16 years old. Situations of conflict are becoming more deadly with guns present,” said Julie Carr during a June 8 meeting of the Issaquah School Board.

Carr specifically asked the board to do more to prevent violence.

TheLake Washington School District now has a full page of resourceson its website, with tips on storing firearms, the page says to "keep guns in the right hands and prevent their unintentional and illegal discharge."

“There is a need for collaboration and work around that with the community. Not just a school, not just the board, but with the community collectively,” said Calm.

The Shoreline School District chose to cut several security staff positions for the next school year.

Parents have gone to school board meetings demanding to know what the plan is to keep their students safe without those security officers.

KOMO News also asked the district for its plan and was told they're still working on a plan that should be released this fall. School starts Sept. 6 in Shoreline.
