While I agree that it should be a priority, it simply isn't.
Many communities have had weapons issues on school property in the past. The simple answer is widespread installation of metal detectors.
Overwhelmingly, they are dismissed for the damage they'll do to the reputation of the community the school is in.
People are more concerned with their property values, than dealing with issues in front of their noses. Perhaps it will take a lot more "incidents" to get people over the "NIMBY" (not in my backyard) mentality.
You're not talking bout a few extra dollars in the school budget, you're outlining major, costly redesigns. I can tell you they'll die in debate at the school board hearings.
Sad but true.
Sincerely,
Andrew Lopez, RN
