Hundreds of Guyer students walk out to protest alleged assault, inaction by officials
DENTON -- Hundreds of students walked out of class at Guyer High School at the start of second period on Friday.
With their signs and their voices, the students condemned school and district officials for what they said was inaction and lack of leadership after a sexual assault alleged to have happened on campus on Oct. 6 between a 17-year-old and a 15-year-old student. The allegation, which has generated no arrests, became a tipping point in what female students and parents say is a culture of sexual harassment, coercion and assault at the school and throughout Denton ISD’s secondary schools.
Guyer High officials said they are taking the allegations and concerns seriously, and are working with the Denton Police Department.
"Guyer High School is in full cooperation with local law enforcement officials, who are currently conducting a thorough investigation," said a statement provided by Denton ISD chief communications officer Julie Zwahr. "That investigation remains open and ongoing at this time, limiting our ability to share details."
