Popular alternative school told to refocus or move out
Seattle Times United States
” –>The 170 students at a Seattle alternative school were shaken by news last month that a classmate had been killed and three other current or former students wounded in two separate shootings. Now the students — many of whom dropped out or were kicked out of traditional schools — have learned their school itself is in danger. King County’s top transportation official has told the school known as Opportunity Skyway that it must return to its aviation-related roots or move out of its home in an old aircraft hangar at county-owned Boeing Field. Transportation Director Harold Taniguchi said he delivered that message to Principal Cindy Ortega last week because the 9-year-old school had strayed from its original mission. The school pays no rent to the airport. Ortega said she expects to move some students out of Opportunity Skyway next semester. She doesn’t yet know where the students will go; discussions with the county are continuing.

At Chennai over 300 guards with assault rifles took positions in and around the airport. The movement of visitors at all airports was also restricted and only passengers were allowed in. The Civil Aviation Bureau is believed to have alerted the three airports following reports that several suspected terrorists had infiltrated the country to carry out aerial strikes. The Indian Air Force said they were maintaining aerial vigil while keeping its fighter planes on stand by. In the meeting on Wednesday the defence minister had also warned the armed forces about the possibility of such an attack. He had called for greater co-ordination among security and intelligence agencies to make the intelligence inputs actionable.
