You do not hold meetings after lockdowns to tell teachers and staff that "this happens all the time at other schools too and that other teachers and staff go through this too." Is that supposed to make a staff member feel better that their colleagues at a different school also has to face traumatic situations? Have the balls to set your foot into a school and teach and go through a F lockdown yourself before you open your mouths once again in front of a staff member. Did you tell staff what ACTIONS you plan to take to make schools "safer?" Are you waiting on parents to do the work that YOUR office should be doing?

Are you ok?


Are you?

You sound deranged

It’s insane how tone deaf so many of the people in OSSI are.

Not only do they not know what it’s like to be in a lockdown, most don’t know or remember what it’s like to be in a classroom. Things have changed a lot in the last 5 years

6 for 2400???


Yep. You can probably find it if you look at the at-a-glance document. There MIGHT have been 7 but definitely no more than that.


According to School Profiles, GHS had 7.5 security staff members last year.


Thank you. That’s if they’re fully staffed and all come to work on any given day. My point was - not 12

I was in Magruder for the 5 hour+ lock down. It sucked. Kids were not able to go the bathroom. Staff were begging for assistance via mass email and getting no response.

Did they honestly expect us to keep lights off for 5+ hours when kids are telling me the kid has already been arrested via twitter?

Lockdowns can be worse than the events that trigger them.

I totally get why kids would bolt out of the school if a lockdown is called.

If you have never been through a multi-hour lockdown you should not be making the policy without the input of those that have.

Most are not brave enough to risk their career. The union isn’t reliable.


Ones who are retiring can and should speak up!

If you haven’t been in a HS in the last 5 years you have no clue what it is like.

This would make an amazing documentary. Most of the public would be shocked!


Ok Mary we'll wait for your documentary.

Did you say a version of that directly to their face? You need to. This is absolutely unacceptable. Lockdowns should never be normalized.

Also, please sign the petition for metal detectors:

Speak up at these meetings instead of running to DC Urban Moms.

Aren't all HS allocated same # of guards? Maybe a few more at the larger schools Blair and WJ?
