Teachers regularly “crowdfund” for basic supplies, and in this post-MSD world, schools have started to rely on crowdfunding for safety measures, too. The district’s excuse is that “Many of our buildings were designed and constructed at a time when schools were not targets for the violence we are currently witnessing.” Yet it’s been 19 years since the tragedy at Columbine, and in that time, countless school shootings have occurred. This begs the question: what has our school board done in the last 19 years to improve the safety of our students and employees besides more of the same?
