Chicago is their example of school safety

Chicago Public Schools know better about controlling children's safety.
The nation can be as cynical about "urban" violence as they want.
The nation can be as cynical in comparing Chicago gun deaths to smaller towns' mass shootings.
The nation can be discouraged by its failure to make schools safe.

But the facts of Chicago Public Schools as safe places INSIDE are a model of preventive safety for the nation's schools.

School security is funded under operating expenses by the CPS Board. In my entire 34 year career, no shootings have taken place in any of the public schools of the 3rd largest city in the U.S.

CPS has instituted police protection with one CPD policeman assigned per high school, located in an office separate from classroom buildings -- usually off near the auditorium area.

Outside all schools, CPS has unarmed security officers with batons and walkie-talkies on school perimeter patrol. No neighborhood people enter grounds without being verbally acknowledged (like a Walmart greeter), then told that the school grounds are federal safe zones, and then directed to the entrance where they are met by security inside the building.

All non-students are met at only one school entrance by security, then literally walked through a metal detector to the administration office before they can be escorted anywhere else in the school with an official visitors pass.

Again, NO shootings have taken place INSIDE any of the public schools of Chicago. The model is PREVENTIVE.

No one can hold any schools responsible for what happens to children on nearby streets, parks, or in their own homes.

The Chicago Public Schools safety model shows that its schools, INSIDE, are safe places for children.
Schools CAN be the safest place for children to be in America.


It CAN be done.

Thanks for clarifying it for us, DUmmies: Schools aren't for kids killing kids. I mean, how are teachers supposed to lecture about being trans and having butt sex and all when bullets are flying? Chicago has it right: you kids go kill each other OUTSIDE.

I mean, come on.

Wow, problem solved!

Now go to the West and South sides of Chicago and do the same.

And how many of those measures were put in place, not because of worry about a shooter, but as obstacles to concerned parents?

What I got from that is that security and police are the answer.

So, very much in line with what our side has been saying.

[Zathras]

What I got from that is why shoot up a school when you have an entire city to do that in.

So, once again, Coach is proven 100% correct. Again...
