This is awesome, way to go FWSD. I recently moved here and have been very involved with Seattle Public schools for years. I was very frustrated by the inaction and lack of resources for basic security and emergencies. PTAs have to fund even basic emergency supplies, creating an inequitable environment where schools without affluent parents go without. I like that FWSD is developing something consistent for ALL schools. Way to go.
And to Scott, this isn't about student behavior; there are outside dangers posed by mentally ill people and natural disasters. things have changed since the sixties and even the 90s when I was in school in Eastern Washington. Columbine and Sandyhook (not a student who killed all of those children) had not happened. Social media and cyber bullying didn't exist. And take location into account, earthquakes aren't a threat in Eastern Washington like they are here.
