A local ‘expert’ chimed in on #SchoolSafety and suggested schools should be treated like the secure zone around the President. His point was that more guns are the answer. As a former Secret Service Agent, I want to explain why ideas like this are fantasies. (thread)
Let’s say you want to create a secure bubble. We need to hire a top notch security force. Back when I joined the USSS it costs about 100k to train me. That’s right. 100k. But these security professionals wouldn’t have to learn everything a USSS agent would, so let’s say 50K.
This isn’t accounting for inflation since the time I was trained, but whatever. Now this person needs a salary & benefits. Well, these are our kids we are talking about. We can’t be cheap. It’s going to be pricy. Now this person has to man the door. But wait. It’s not that easy.
For everyone claiming that 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳𝘴 are the problem and/or solution. My sons school was very secure. You have to be buzzed in the front door, which has a lobby with a camera and speaker and you state why you are there. All of the other doors only opened from the inside.
You need that, in case of fire. Which is probably less likely at this point than a shooting, but that’s a whole different post.
The thing about these big heavy doors is sometimes they don’t close all the way. They don’t engage properly. OR, because people are human and therefore imperfect, someone may prop it open.

@SenMacDonald10 , "Michigan School Safety Task Force" Macomb County Representative @PLHornberger and the disgraced, illusive and removed from committee assignments Domestic Abuser Rep. Steve Marino Mi #HD24 have as you guessed it, all stayed silent

On today's gun violence that took place at @cvhs_bigreds . No surprise task force member @PLHornberger hasn't spoken out, after all she displays the @NRA sign proudly in her office. We need elected officials who will stand up for #schoolsafety not those who turn a blind eye
@SenMacDonald10 I'm calling on you to support SB550 and SB553 - and do whatever it takes to get them passed! Gun violence happened in YOUR district on YOUR time, are you really going to stay silent during an election cycle? Just so happens you decided to run for my district--

Nearly one million Californians may be exposed to potentially harmful pollutants emitted by #PCO devices. This now includes school children across the country. Paid for by #CARESAct funds. #ventilation #filtration #COVID #schoolreopening #schoolsafety #ReOpenSafely #snakeoil
I commend @AirResources for their regulation on O3 thanks to amazing researchers👇🏼I’d like to know when other oxidant producing purifiers will also be regulated? Many schls have implemented these devices w/ #CaresAct funds. Experts agree: No to adding ANY oxidants to indoor air.
We need you to regulate this ASAP as many schools have already purchased & implemented these systems due to their presences on the #CARB approved list. #schoolreopening #schoolclosures #schoolsafety #COVID19 #ListenToTheExperts #hygienetheater #snakeoil

@DaveTheK The mark of companies that use @thoughtxchng - they're prepared to step their organization into a more open #conversation!
Effective, comprehensive #SchoolSafety begins with schools' everyday professionals, policies and practices; aligns with schools' mission; and promotes academic, social and personal achievement.
Planning is critical to #SchoolSafety and is reliant upon the well-executed, 6-step planning process that applies the school-specific planning principles every step of the way!
Collaboration is necessary! Districts & schools should assemble a multidisciplinary team that includes a variety of education professionals as well as community partners. Everyone has expertise to contribute! rems.ed.gov/Resource_Plan_…
After the Columbine, Sandy Hook, and Parkland school attacks, commissions were formed to analyze events leading up to the attacks, determine what could have been done to prevent or mitigate those attacks, and recommend what should be done to prevent or mitigate future attacks.
The purpose of today’s hearing is to review the work of these commissions to determine which recommendations have broad support, which would be most effective, and which could be quickly and easily implemented.
Let’s work together to help improve #SchoolSafety and keep our children safe and secure. Thank you to today’s witnesses for your input.

We are LIVE! @ColinDoherty_Te has finished his thoughtful introduction of @CoursonCA and we are jumping right into our conversation about #leaders being continuous learners! #opentolearning #bringpeopletogether #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE #leadership Join us! bit.ly/2RbsBTb
When everyone gets a voice, they are no longer passive, they become ACTIVE. People will forget what you say but they will remember how you made them feel. Give them a voice! @CoursonCA #bringpeopletogether #TeVE #TeVirtualEvents #Leadership #studentvoice
Yes and no answers do not give people an opportunity to give authentic feedback. Open-ended questions invite feedback from any direction. This can be frightening for #leaders but it's worth it! #VulnerableLeadership #TeVE #TeVirtualEvents #Leadership @CoursonCA
THREAD: @marcorubio’s recent letter to @USEDgov and @TheJustice Department linking the Parkland shooting to the 2014 school discipline guidance is wildly misguided...at very best 1/
First, the primary purpose of that guidance is to prevent discrimination based on race, color, and national origin in schools’ administration of school discipline practices. Plain text: you must create fair discipline policies, and apply these policies equitably. 2/
Clearly, this guidance presented no obstacle to school administrators when they decided to expel the Parkland shooter. 3/
