While we understand that the issue of guns is prevalent in the minds of students, this type of action poses some problems for the district.

Supt. Meri Skilliter wrote on Ada Schools Facebook that walk-outs will not be sanctioned at Ada Schools. Her response to the political issue follows:

Dear Ada Parents and Students:

We have been made aware that a national movement is in the works that is encouraging high school students to stage walk-outs in support of gun control.  While we understand that the issue of guns is prevalent in the minds of students, this type of action poses some problems for the district.
