After Uvalde shooting, Texas State asks Legislature to fund school safety, police training

Do you think each state prioritizes school safety funding or is it only after tragedy strikes? School districts must remain pro-active in their approach to school safety instead of reactive.

Does your child's school prioritize school safety?

Amesbury Public Schools to Add Enhanced Layer of School Safety

Today we remember and honor the lives lost on April 20th 1999

The Columbine school shooting massacre must never be forgotten. We need to continue to learn and grow so these incidents become preventable, and better understood. Hopefully one day we can say school shootings are at an all time low. For now they are and continue to be at an all time high.

Let’s do all we can to prevent these terrible tragedies.

We have to remember that guns are used as protection. Guns don’t fire on their own. They are activated by human minds that make choices, and human hands that pull the trigger.

Someone who uses a gun for harm and ill intent has the mindset to commit this act no matter the tool.

Gun safety and mental health care have become increasingly important. Authority figures need to stay active and vigilant at screening warning signs.

We must help the current and future generations put a stop to school violence.

Students are afraid to attend school with the recent uptick in school violence. This generation is experiencing a school violence epidemic. Let’s help protect school communities by adding IN FORCE 911 to your school’s safety protocol.

"The pandemic," Peterson added, "has shown us that schools are so much more than schools. They really hold our society together and hold our kids together in many ways, from mental health to physical health to food security. And we lost that."- Jillian Peterson (Criminology professor at Hamline University)

“Mass shootings are a first-line traumatic event that can potentially trigger post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in people who are directly exposed, as life and limb are under direct and violent threat. Children, in particular, are even more vulnerable; multiple studies have shown that childhood trauma has more lifelong and pervasive effects on young developing psyches, both in terms of their psychological worldview, and their physiological systems that handle stress and anxiety.

On a secondary level, the threat of mass shootings throughout schools is also damaging to mental health; safety and security are always paramount to a child’s healthy psychological development, and this constant anxiety and sense of danger will disrupt that sense of security, and put all children at risk of developing anxiety and mood disorders.”-
Jean Kim MD, Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at George Washington University, Medical Officer at the FDA
