[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School security was the number one reason we chose private school.  [/quote]

Your specific school. Tons of privates have no more security (and often less) than publics. I’ve worked in two catholic schools and neither has security of any kind. [/quote]

My ds started K at a small Catholic school the year after Sandy Hook. The admin assured parents that all doors were locked all day and teachers have an access card to open. I dropped by the school a month after it opened and did a security assessment. Doors were propped open! Anyone could and can walk right into the school. I lurked around there for 25 minutes unnoticed and/or unquestioned. I talked to the principal, who clearly wasn't concerned. They never conducted shooter drills, a fact I was glad about at the time because my dc had anxiety in general. I ultimately pulled dc after first grade and have been homeschooling ever since. Dc starts an online high school next year and participates in many extracurriculars. Between school shootings and covid, I'm am so grateful my family made the decision to homeschool. We have made sacrifices to do so and they are worth it.[/quote]
