Jake Long, the principal at Moses Lake High said none of the students were disciplined

Long said the school would permit the students to participate in future demonstrations if they are respectful and not taking advantage of any particular situation.

Meanwhile, Wenatchee and Eastmont School officials did not report any similar gathering or rallies on school grounds or any student planned activities in the immediate future.

Eastmont Superintendent Garn Christensen said he would be supportive of students who wanted to make a statement on the issue of gun violence and the impact on school safety
