Daily News | Too many lockdowns to count: Gun violence has touched everything at one Philly school
The voice came, loud and insistent, over the loudspeaker: “There’s a lockdown, there’s a lockdown.” Christian Kelly, a 12th grader sitting in his classroom, felt his heart race.
In the past, students and teachers said, Philadelphia schools and their immediate vicinities generally felt safe during the day, even in more crime-troubled pockets of the city. But that’s often no longer the case. As a citywide admissions school, U School is affected by gun violence in every corner of the city, and adults in the building say it has touched all aspects of the school year.
And while some people expect students to be steeled against the violence, Christina Green-Lee, the U School’s other school counselor, “Sometimes, something happens in the community that I don’t know about,” said Banks. “But if they need resources, then we have to provide them. We’re really trying to increase the visibility of what’s available.”
