BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Superintendents in the Bismarck area won’t dismiss classes for any walkouts or demonstrations in support of Florida school shooting victims and gun control.

But Bismarck Public Schools Superintendent Tamara Uselman and Mandan Public Schools Superintendent Mike Bitz say they won’t prohibit students from participating in them.

Students nationwide are planning walkouts over next two months to advocate for tougher gun control and to protest gun violence in response to the Florida school shooting that killed 17 last week.

Uselman says students will face repercussions if they don’t obtain parent permission to leave school. She says faculty members are required to use their own leave time to participate in protests.

Uselman and Bitz say they’re unaware of any planned walkouts, but will continue to monitor their communities.
