[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BCC could have handled it better. I appreciated the Remind updates but my kid was told to hide in a closet for over 2 hours which seems ridiculous if there was no threat inside the building. No way to reach him so he had no idea what was going on for a very long time. [/quote]

The fear was that the suspect carrying the weapon might be a BCC student looking to hide from police by returning to the building, WITH the gun. Police did not want to get into a gun fight in a building full of kids. They took some time to look at all the cameras and determine that kids could be dismissed without too much risk.

I think that was the right decision.

When a student returns to the school building, is an AP or security checking IDs as schools claim they do of each and every student at start of school in morning?[/quote]

Every time someone says “checking IDs is stupid, my kids flashed a chik-fil-a gift card and got in” I want to ask them if they seriously want to have their kid stand in a line with 2,000 other kids so security can check their ID against faces of kids they know attend the school.  The IDs serve a purpose to keep unknown kids out.  Kids that go to the school who are known by security because they walk by every year for four years straight don’t need IDs checked in detail every day.  If the school wants to keep a kid who attends the school out of the building they will let security know.  If a kid that security doesn’t recognize tries to enter the building, they will ask for that kids ID.[/quote]
