In a letter sent home to parents and guardians of students in middle and high schools saying they cannot condone students leaving classes to participate in this activity.

The activity will take place in secondary schools across the county at 10 a.m. on that Wednesday.
"This activity will provide a means for students of varying perspectives to engage in a positive dialogue while remaining in a safe and secure environment."
Parents and guardians are being asked to talk to students ahead of time.
The letter says students who leaving school may be subject to disciplinary action for disrupting schools operations.
