Community Meeting.
Parents, Students and Families, Today, Tuesday, 2/24/26, a group of students from Taft 7-12 High School participated in a student-planned demonstration during the school day. This was a student-organized event and was not sponsored, endorsed, or supervised by the school or the district. Students assembled on campus and then chose to leave school grounds, walking toward the Highway 101 and Nelscott area. For safety and liability reasons, district employees are not permitted to participate in or supervise student-led demonstrations off campus. As with any absence during the school day, students who left campus without authorization will be marked absent. Families will be notified through our normal attendance procedures at approximately 4:20 pm. We respect students’ rights to express their views and encourage civic engagement. At the same time, our primary responsibility is to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment for all students. We appreciate our families’ partnership and support in reinforcing the importance of attending school and following established procedures. If families have questions, they can read our Student Demonstration protocol or may contact the school directly.
