GREEN DOT: Back To Locke High School

Over all, things seem like they're going pretty well at the school -- though of course there's lots of school left and there remain a lot of things they want to improve. 

It's the second semester, so kids are once again walking around with schedules in their hands. Most everyone --kids and teachers -- seems to be back.

There's some new fabric covering the cloth barrier that -- in theory -- keeps the black shirts away from the white shirts. The original must have gotten tagged or ripped.

I saw a new student being shown his classes and waiting for a lunch card.

A police helicopter made tight circles over a sunny after-school soccer game, looking for whoever fired shots on Avalon Avenue right next to the school.
