[quote=Anonymous]I hope OP will go to the upcoming BOE meetings to testify.  if OP has a kid at elementary school they should submit evidence of these security issues being a concern at that single elementary school and reach out to other parents at that school to do the same. This would start the ball rolling to address issues much more than this post which lacks evidence.  Safety red flags differ school to school so focusing on one school where the issues are proven and bringing in students and parents from that school would likely be much more effective than this post.  All schools are supposed to have security vestibules already so if your child’s school does not prove it and advocate for that.  In so far as teachers not being able to contact 911 that all differs based and cell reception at that school or in that class. If your kid’s school had classrooms that cannot the main office or 911 directly advocate for that.

As for active shooter drills, the research suggests they do more harm than good.  Look it up.  Were I trying to get support from a broad range of parents for improved school security, I would leave that one out.  Focus on advocating for know not controversial needs. The ability to call 911 effectively and to make sure police can communicate when in the building seems like a good place to start that you could rally support around once you prove it is an issue.[/quote]
