The school staff has decide to permanently close the Westgreen gate because certain delinquent students use the Westgreen gate to leave school unannounced.

However, by closing the gate they are punishing students who use the entrance to get to school and creating a dangerous traffic hazard on Kingsland thus risking student lives.

Additionally, closing the Westgreen gate does not even stop delinquent students from leaving in the middle of the day. They will just leave through Kingsland or the parking garage.

We demand that the gate be reopened to preserve the safety of us (the students) and so we will be able to get to school on time.
