Tell us if you think Kent City Schools administrators acted responsibly or should have responded differently.
Many parents of Davey Elementary students are not pleased with the way Kent City Schools administrators handled a recent threat of a public shooting at the school. The Davey Parent Teacher Organization held a meeting to discuss the issue and the district's response Wednesday.
