Student-Led Walkout Held In Wauwatosa

WAUWATOSA, WI — A over student-led protest was held on Friday afternoon at Wauwatosa East High School, according to school officials.

A letter addressed to Wauwatosa East winter athletic families said the walkout is planned to protest “the investigation protocol of sexual assault allegations in our school and community,” Sue Flatley, athletic administrative assistant, said in the letter to parents.

Patch reached out to the Wauwatosa School District on Friday morning for further information on the allegations.

School administrators met with a group planning the walkout to answer questions about school policies and discuss student activism on campus, the letter said.

It is unclear which student group organized the walkout.

The walkout wasn’t approved by the district of the school administration. The school administration warned athletes of consequences if they participate in the walkout, the letter said.
