'No one is making the efforts': Parents renew safety concerns as special election moves inside Buffalo school
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — Kristin Barber, a parent at PS 050 North Park Community School, says the fears that she shared with the 7 News-I Team last fall remain unresolved as Election Day approaches.
Last fall, Barber spoke with I-Team investigator Ed Drantch about using public schools as polling places during school hours, arguing that opening buildings to the general public conflicts with security expansions at the school.
Now, with the special election scheduled for February 3, North Park Academy will serve as a polling site.
"No one is making the efforts to make that change," Barber said. "Instead, everyone is sacrificing the safety and regular routines of these children to just go along with the status quo and make things easier."
