Another resident, Ray McClory, criticized proposed safety measures such as clear backpacks and the Guardian program, arguing that they would not effectively prevent gun violence in schools. He stressed the importance of having only fully trained law enforcement officers present in schools, warning that arming teachers could lead to confusion during a crisis, potentially endangering lives. McClory advocated for creating a safe atmosphere conducive to learning and suggested that the board communicate with parents about securing firearms at home, as unsecured guns are often linked to school shootings.
Both speakers underscored the critical need for enhanced mental health services for students, pointing out that many school shootings are perpetrated by individuals with unresolved mental health issues or those who have experienced bullying. The discussions reflect a community grappling with the complexities of ensuring safety in schools while fostering a supportive educational environment.
