[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Please do not put words in my mouth about a hidden bias to the student who I do not know, or for the the secrecy of the CFA googlegroup. I am trying to reach CMI parents who I am unable to reach via the googlegroup, that are upset by the incident. The school did everything by the books as stated in its manual. My heartbreak is the countless children who lose their lives due to school shootings and the fear that this will one day affect my children's lives. By throwing your hands up and saying that the school did all they could -- is the bare minimum to combat gun violence in schools.

I am trying to brainstorm how we at CMI, can make our school the safest environment, and how to motivate families who do have firearms to secure them. I am only one person, but my love for my children has no bounds. I cannot sit idly and say "the school did enough." There's always more. If you are a CMI parent or a parent from another school that has made progress starting an informative conversation about gun safety, it would be helpful to share it so we can protect all of our kids. I cannot wait for the CDC.[/quote]

I sympathize with you. I think it's fair to be extra-concerned and motivated to make sure safety measures are in place, after such an incident. And, to want to know what beyond this the school does to prevent gun violence. We've received information on lockdown drills as of last year when there were several. Some parents as well as the admin during the Parkland aftermath raised it more prominently. We have a safety committee in the PTO of some type which could cover this. Perhaps you can channel efforts that way. You don't need to violate a student's privacy to do something about gun safety.  I am sure there are many charitable groups you could contact who might advise the school or present to parents on this topic, as a start.[/quote]
