An excellent article on the effects of Columbine - 25 years later.Schools need layers of protection. And a locked classroom door with shades blocking views remains one of the strongest and least expensive safety measures schools can take.https://lnkd.in/etUXCsGJ#schoolsafety#education #schoolshootings

As some DeKalb County (GA) schools experienced delays in student screening with their new #weaponsdetection system, one middle school principal advised students to carry "some items" in their hands as they enter the building so staff can quickly see it is not a weapon if the system goes off, according to the below article.Students were reportedly informed that these items include scissors, umbrellas, earbuds, locks, metal water bottles, metal utensils for lunch, three-ring binders, metal eyeglass cases, metal pencil or makeup cases, and brass instruments.Let's hope that any one student does not have all of the above items at the same time. The student will need more than two hands, for sure. As a parent, I would be asking if the #principal knew this when the system was purchased and, if so, why were #students and #parents not informed far before school started? Or better yet, where they involved in the conversation about the district's interests in purchasing the system in the first place? If the principal did NOT know these items students routinely carry would create disruptive alerts, then the question is, "Why not?"We need to do a better job at supporting #superintendents, #schoolboards, and other #schoolleaders in being better informed #schoolsafety consumers and better communicators with their stakeholders about school safety.Link to the full story in the comments section below

Do "Lockdowns" Work During Shootings? Frankly, they don't seem to be working very well. Would an effective "Evacuation" plan & drill be a better way?Schools & universities drill students on lockdown procedures - forcing them to stay within range of a shooter. Yet, there is almost no research affirming the value of these "Lockdown" drills for preventing shootings, or protecting the school community when shootings do occur.More info here; https://lnkd.in/g_h6QYUd
