Decades of underfunding education means that students all over the country walk outside the main school building to portable classrooms. These are not "securable" spaces without spending billions of dollars to add White House level fencing and perimeter patrols.
Student fatally shot at Bowie High in Arlington, TX yesterday was killed in front of a portable classroom building. Even if the main school building has a "single point of entry" and super-max style security screening, students still need to leave the building during the day.
Bowie High (TX) student shot and killed a fellow student outside of the school. The shooting happened around 2:50 p.m. Wednesday near a portable building on campus. The school was placed on lockdown just as students were about to be let out for the day.
Question for legal experts: When armed teachers are *employees* of a school system who are granted permission to have guns inside their workplace by their employer, are their actions covered by the same laws as armed civilians in public spaces? Is the school/employer legally…

@K12ssdb From a pragmatic planning perspective, no matter how detailed the details are, something can, and sometimes does, go awry.
The gun homicide rate in Washington has nearly DOUBLED over the past decade. 73% of all homicides in the state were by firearms in 2021.
Nearly 500 people have been killed in school shootings since Columbine newsweek.com/america-record…
#Schoolleaders and #schoolsafety officials need to keep their fingers on the pulse of #schoolsecurity incidents and trends. A snapshot of school safety challenges facing leaders this week:
At schools this week: - Student commit suicide in school parking lot with gun left in parent's car after meeting with administrators (NC) -2 killed, 1 wounded during fight by athletic facilities (MO) -Student killed, student wounded during shooting in parking lot at dismissal…
The 168 chairs, with 19 small ones for the kids & babies murdered on April 19, 1995, is among the most moving memorials anywhere to lives senselessly lost because of terrorism. Even more tragically, it was an American who cruelly & mercilessly killed other Americans that day.
It is not an accident when a child has access to an unlocked and loaded gun. Predictable and preventable tragedies can end with responsible gun storage. Neighbors, gun safety advocates urge proper firearm storage following accidental shooting in KCMO kshb.com/news/local-new…
So you want to help people? That’s great — but beware the law of unintended consequences. Three stories from the modern workplace. freak.ws/3vVIqGy
NEW: After an armed California man showed up at a Bay Area hospital and threatened staff for "favoring non-whites," police seized 230 guns, including assault rifles and machine guns; 11,000 pounds of ammo; 22 silencers; and 869 magazines from his home. mercurynews.com/2024/04/15/ric…
1,500 firearms were intercepted by TSA at US airports in the last 3 months — with a shocking 93% of them loaded Can you guess which airports had the most? nypost.com/2024/04/11/us-…
One of the greatest American public health successes is our nation’s work to make cars safer. We can use lessons learned from car safety and apply these lessons to preventing gun violence: publichealth.jhu.edu/center-for-gun…
‘Run Hide Fight’ and Responding to Active Shooters: What Does ‘Fight’ Mean at a School? campussafetymagazine.com/news/run-hide-… via @CampusSafetyMag
Can’t get “Texas Hold ‘Em” out of our heads either.
This is one of the reasons why we have been pushing Congress to pass safe storage laws. From 2017 to 2021, there were 1,074,022 firearms reported stolen. Almost 96% (1,026,538) were stolen in thefts from private citizens.
A Chicago high school student was arrested after a Glock 21 pistol was found in his locker. The gun was stolen in the small town of Henderson, KY 300 miles away. Chicago's restrictive gun laws are undermined by the ease of obtaining firearms from other states.
For those calling for arming school staff, do you happen to know how many armed staff incidents with guns there are? Here's a list of actual incidents with mishandled guns in schools with source citations. It isn't always about mass shootings: giffords.org/report/every-i…

This is as insidious and evil as it gets. I went to Sandy Hook to spend time with those families that had just lost their young babies in the massacre, & to attend the funeral of their wonderful, heroic principal. Those memories are seared into my brain, and my heart, forever.
Aaron Rodgers shared Sandy Hook conspiracy theories. Watch the full video here: tinyurl.com/yx2wcktz
Seeing reactions to this along the lines of "who's surprised," but man...this is really galling. Far too many stupid and harmful conspiracy theories out there these days, but Sandy Hook trutherism is uniquely insidious.
