Student Who Allegedly Threatened To Kill Classmates Allowed Back To School



ONALASKA, Wash. —

A group of parents in Onalaska say they are fuming over the school district’s decision to allow a girl who allegedly threatened to kill seven of her fellow students last year back in class, even as she is facing felony criminal charges for the incident.

“She threatened to kill us and she has ways of getting to weapons to do what she is saying,” student Megan Rumley told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reporter Richard Thompson.

Rumley says her classmate threatened to kill seven girls, including Rumley, last year.

The girl was suspended for a month and a half at the end of the school year, and is now facing felony charges for her alleged threats, but school officials are allowing her to return to class.

The Onalaska school district superintendent says he believes the student has already been adequately punished, but parents of several of the alleged victims say they are pulling their kids out of Onalaska high because the district will not address their concerns.
