of the possibility, as well as the uncertainty, surrounding conservative
commentator Ann Coulter’s potential visit to the U.C. Berkeley campus tomorrow.
There have been many conflicting reports in the media about what exactly will
take place, and we are working with BPD as well as BUSD district staff to get
the best information we can. </span><span style="font-family:"times new roman","serif""></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"arial","sans-serif";color:black">What we will prepare for, whether or not Coulter
comes to Berkeley, is that supporters for and against her speech are publicly,
through social media, announcing plans to demonstrate regardless. While these
activities may remain centered at U.C. Berkeley, the fact that recent protest
actions have occurred in Civic Center Park, adjacent to our campus, raises the
potential that groups may gather there again tomorrow. Since these events
raise noteworthy safety concerns, we are asking our school community to be
aware of what could unfold on the UC campus, the downtown area, or next to our
campus tomorrow. Our primary goal is to ensure that BHS students avoid unsafe
situations. </span><span style="font-family:"times new roman","serif""></span></p>
