[quote=Anonymous]Eastern parent here.  The way I read the listserv traffic was that the principal probably did, indeed, respond initially with a "off school property, nothing we can do" attitude, but then the Eastern PTA president contacted her and posted that he had talked with Principal Crouse and "she understood the concerns".  I don't think that anything would have happened without the further poke from the PTA president.

FWIW, there have been many, many security concerns at the school.  This is definitely not the first time students have been "jumped" on the way home from school.  DD has a friend who missed two days of school having been beaten up on the way home.  There are fights at school and sexual harassment of girls is a consistently under-addressed problem (yes, slap-ass week was a thing for several semesters and unwanted touching still continues, although not in as highly organized a fashion).  Kids are not necessarily "scared" of these behaviors because it is considered "normal" and something that will never change.  Sad.  [/quote]
