Editor,
As the new school year approaches, I would like to suggest to parents and guardians of our area students to ask the school authorities if they have a formal protocol/document in place as to what the procedures our school would follow in the case of threats to the safety of our children as “shoot outs” have occurred throughout our country.
Let’s find out what the schools have in place. Let’s make this document accessible to parents.
This would also make a very informative series of articles for our local paper to follow up on with local superintendents.
