[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, sending out an alert while a situation is unfolding and information may be changing by the minute would be NOT helpful. The last thing any school would need is parents bombarding the school with calls and visits. You don’t have a right to know while something is happening. Hate to be harsh, but that is the reality. Your need to know everything doesn’t trump kids’ safety. The focus is on keeping kids safe in the moment, not updating texts. As for text alerts being sent out centrally—where do you think they would be getting the information? Principal: “Hold on everyone. I have to call Gatehouse and let them know what to tell parents because they want to send out a text alert that would easily result in parents showing up at school and causing chaos.” [/quote]
