Our principal does a really good job of communicating with our parents about the safety of our students. Making this delicate situation at our school about the ‘history’ of threats is uncalled for and insensitive. Where is the support and consolation for a school in your district? Instead of putting our school on blast, take the time to think about the real issues. That there was a local shooting at a high school nearby where teachers and students lost their lives, shortly before the threat was made.
