Cracked walls, mold, sewage backups, even the risk of electric shock. That’s what students at Druid Hills High School outside Atlanta faced for years—and they wanted the world to see.
Chronic under-investment left school buildings and facilities there in disrepair. The problem got national attention after a video the students posted to social media went viral.
In the video, one student shows walls peeling from water damage. Another points to holes in the ceiling. One shows a sign warning students not to touch a metal pole in a classroom because of the risk of electrocution.
