After the Stabbing

At a community forum Jeremaine Cotton, Ferrell's older brother and a student at Southeast Raleigh High, told the audience of nearly 500 people that packed the school auditorium that he witnessed his brother's stabbing. “I no longer feel safe in the school,” Cotton said. “I'm a junior and I've seen my fair share of violence in the school. I don't think people really care about us like they say they do.”

The Schools Record

Principal Eddie Harden told the crowd at the forum that additional staff are now at the school to help supervise the students. He said the school will focus on lessons on conflict resolution and getting students to report information that could impact the safety of the school. Students can anonymously report tips at 919-856-1911. “We have to move beyond being silent due to past norms,” Harden said. Harden was among multiple people who said the school and community is being unfairly painted with negative stereotypes. “You're not going to talk about my students, you're not going to talk about certain neighborhoods,” Harden said. “You're not doing that. We can't accept it.” News reports have pointed to the crime rate and academic performance of Southeast Raleigh High compared to other Wake County schools.
