[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So true. How are those kids supposed to feel safe in schools for the rest of their lives? Even kids in nearby classrooms who heard the shot may have been traumatized.[/quote]

This is a problem with all school shootings. Sadly, we should be getting good at developing immediate crisis response and long term trauma management in our country given how often we see school shootings. [/quote]

Most school systems express some concerns about what happened and going forward. This school system? Silence.[/quote]

You must not be reading the news. The school system made personnel changes. They installed metal detectors. They had a family day before reopening the school. They offered emotional support and meals for a period of time. [/quote]

I read the news and am aware of what you've said. They haven't explained why the principal is still working in the school system, they haven't apologized publicly for what occurred (only a lawyer vetted statement), and they're trying to absolve themselves from financial obligation. It's all very controlled to limit a payout. Conflicting statements have been made as to why that child was allowed in that type of setting. [/quote]

I was responding to your comment about radio silence, which isn’t the case. Now you’re faulting them for not responding publicly to prospective litigation. That would be foolish of any entity. [/quote]
