The GEA is deeply concerned about the incident on Friday, 6/5/2026, in which an intruder entered one of our elementary schools. The fear and disruption experienced by our students and staff should never occur in a place dedicated to learning and growth.
We are demanding a swift, thorough, and transparent investigation into how this breach occurred. Reports of ongoing door and security concerns had been raised by staff multiple times, and serious questions remain about whether those responsible for implementing them followed established safety protocols.
Our dedicated teachers and IAs work hard every day to keep students safe. They deserve to know that their concerns are heard, that safety protocols are followed, and that accountability exists when systems fail.
The community deserves answers, immediate corrective action, and a commitment to ensuring that an incident like this never happens again in any GPS building.
