Some Falcon School District 49 parents say racism is an ongoing problem in their kids' schools. They are demanding the school district do something about it or they will take legal action.

These parents tell 11 News they fear the reported racism could lead to violence.

"Enough is enough," said Reverend James McMearn.

That is the message from concerned parents and the local branch of the NAACP.

"We have received several complaints about alleged racism," said Rosemary Harris, President of the NAACP Colorado Springs Branch.

The complaints have been filed with the school district. However, some parents say nothing has been done about it.

"My children have been called the "n" word. They have been abused And we have retaliated on because we've gone to these people for help.," said parent Felicia Wingo.

Dr. Nancy Wright, District 49's Interim Superintendent says district officials are working with outside experts to address the problems.

"I think there are legitimate concerns out there that haven't been addressed," said Dr. Wright.

The group of concerned parents and civil rights leaders are giving the school board two weeks to develop new policies and procedures.

"We don't think our children should have to learn in environments that are racially exclusive instead of inclusive," said Harris.

However, not all parents believe the school environment is a problem. One woman tells 11 News she has nine kids who are minorities.

"They are happy here. They are doing well. They're included on the honor roll, choir and basketball teams."

"I'm so happy about those children who are able to succeed. But, we must care for all of our children," concluded Harris.

A letter of recommendation has been given to Dr. Wright and school board members. It outlines three ways to address the racism issues.
