ENFIELD, CT — School officials concerned with how to handle a planned March 14 walkout by high school students in support of the Florida school shooting victims are offering an "indoor walkout" alternative, consequences-free, in an attempt to keep students from leaving the building.

The walkout, which involves high school students across the nation, is scheduled for 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 14.

Enfield officials are offering students the opportunity to walk out of class at 9:55 a.m., to proceed to the auditorium for a 17-second period of silence in remembrance of the victims at 10 a.m. Student leaders will then address the gathering about the "#whatsyour17" movement, and town and school leaders have been invited to host a listening session to hear student concerns during that time.
