Okay, but I would still like for schools to be hardened against outside threats. We can have both.

Basic security, absolutely. But when we start talking about things that inherently challenge creating a trusting culture and are known to do more harm than good (see: SROs), no thank you.

It is nuts that some people argue that more guns make schools safer.

If LE was on site at every school, it would be safer... but MCPS doesn't seem to want this.

MCPS has no meaningful security plans and they're not seriously looking to address it either. They're hoping there's enough space between violent incidents that parents and teachers forget about it and don't demand change.

It’s ridiculous to say this and absolutely not true. Is there more that could be done, maybe, but to say they have no plan and have not looked into it, is a complete lie.

Also, looking at my senior going in and out of his high school, anyone can get in when a student or staff member goes in. No shooting glass or shooting locks even necessary.

Banning guns isn't going to help as there are too many guns out there and they can easily be made on 3-d printers. Ideally, yes, we get rid of guns but its too late for that.

NO. It is never too late. Your response is so wrong headed on every level. At the very least, you could say “let’s give that a try because we owe it to our kids to try everything”!

Do you think it’s too late to fight climate change?
During slave-holding times, would you have said “it’s too late to free them, there are too many”?
When England taxed colonies and sent troops over, would you have said “it’s too late, they’re a professional army, we’re just farmers”?
Did Zelensky escape Kyiv when Russians tried to take the city?

DEFEATIST. You are the problem!!!

Please, enlighten us with the robust, detailed security plan MCPS has that you're aware of.

DP but you're definitely a troll and probably has no kids in MCPS. That's why you're not aware of any.

+1
I would like to know if the new schools that are being built have any gun safety measures such as curved halls, secure doors, etc?

Please, enlighten us with the robust, detailed security plan MCPS has that you're aware of.

At a minimum banning assault style rifles. The predominate weapon used in mass shootings that has no purpose for hunting or self defense
