A group of parents whose children were killed in the Parkland, Florida school shooting, called on Aug. 9 for their school district board to be ousted for failing to ensure security before students return to classes next week.

“The current school board has failed to properly prepare the county’s 234 schools for the upcoming school year,” said Tony Montalto, president of Stand With Parkland, a group formed by families of victims of the Feb. 14 attack, during a televised press conference.
