“Where Was Security”

Every time I think about Avonte Oquendo I feel upset that all the people who saw him walking around, did not think it necessary to make sure that he went back to class.

I have had children in NYC Schools for more than 22 years and still counting. The moment you enter the school building, there is security personnel to log you in and when you are leaving security at the exit. So my question is, “Where was the security on the day Avonte walked away? If they were leaving their posts, why didn’t they lock all doors?

This is so heartbreaking.
