You know those rubber door stops used to keep a door open. Have one in every class room. In case the need arises you place under the door to keep the person out of the classrooms. During the riots at Escambia High School during the 70’s one of my friends taught there. The teachers would unlock their doors then immediately relock the doors. They never knew when a riot would hit. In between classse, the teachers would stand at their classroom door. After the tardy bell rang the doors were shut and locked. The main thing if a student or anyone sees or hears something they should report to a teacher. If on a bus, most students today have cellphones, call 911. Better safe than sorry. Just my thoughts this morning. I saw something on FB. You know those rubber door stops used to keep a door open. Have one in every class room.

Scott, you cut taxes which could have helped to fund School Safety. Florida Legislature you are busy diverting PUBLIC School funding to your favorite Private and Charter Schools which suck the monies away from our kids that could be used for increased Safety and many other needed things.. SHAME on our high level leaders for their communal disrespect for Public Education and for us who believed in them and put them into office. Gov.

Doors are not the only entry points. Focus on areas also such as portable or stand-alone buildings. Pay special attention to the physical education/sports areas as well as the cafeteria portion of the facility. Entry doors may be locked related to outside entry but NO door can be locked or chained to prevent exiting the facility(panic bars)from the inside. Encourage students, faculty and all school employees to report ANY reasonable assumption for alarm. Acts of committed violence are not limited to firearms. A weapon is just that...to maim or injure. Remember ABC! Always Be Cautious! ALL schools should assess their facilities as to possible weak areas for illegal entry.

And a main gate for cars and pedestrians that are screened by a guard? Students vehicles must have a current parking sticker and visitors are logged and photographed by security cameras. Stops those intent on evil far from the buildings and gives time for lock down, if needed. Confrontation occurs at entrance by a trained resource officer with his weapon. Just a suggestion for controlled access to campus. What you think Mr. Malcolm Thomas? What about a security fence surrounding the campus?
