Students, parents protest safety conditions at Cerritos High School

About a dozen students walked out of their classrooms at Cerritos High School Friday to protest what they believe is a lack of safety on campus.

Parents and students gathered and held signs to protest conditions at the school following a series of violent incidents in and around campus.


Organizers told KTLA there have been many fights on campus and a recent shooting nearby. Parents said they want increased security at the school and better communication from administrators and school district officials.
