School Security Measures for Safe Learning Environments CNN reports that there were 23 school shootings in the first five months of 2018 . In each of these incidents, at least one person was shot excluding the gunman. Seeing this fact rattled me to my core. I thought about my children, how they were once in schools similar to Parkland and Sandy Hook and Santa Fe. I had to understand how schools were trying to combat this. America’s mass shooting incidence rate has many layered causes, so I wanted to look specifically at the schools. We want our schools to have the security of our prisons without feeling or looking like prisons. Learning environments must be just that—learning environments. By focusing on CPTED—crime prevention through environmental design—school entrance design and visitor and staff management, schools can achieve that careful yet attainable balance. ...
Previously, I posted on school security measures as response to the national school safety debate. However, I believe that schools must be protected from threats both inside and outside their walls. Within the mental health segment of the issue lies one key cause of suffering in schools: bullying. In 2016, National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) found that 33 percent of students who reported being bullied at school indicated that they were bullied at least once or twice a month during the school year. This figure shows that bullying is a chronic issue. In 1999, two ex-bully victims killed thirteen people in the Columbine Massacre.

Today is November 4, 2008. At 11:30 a.m Mariela's custody hearing was canceled and reset for two weeks from today. We were very sad and disappointed for Mariela. We wanted to get her to a home where she can start bonding. Brett and our attorney set to work to arrange an emergency hearing. They were successful in their efforts. At 4:50 pm our hearing was heard. We were awarded temporary custody of Mariela Ruby Arismendez, that evening at 5:15 p.m Mariela was released from her current foster home and put in our care. It's going to be an interesting year to say the least. I hope the Lord will help and sustain me as much as I believed he will. We are happy that this first hearing is over and we can shower her with love. On ovember 5, 2008 at 4 :30 pm, Brett and I picked up Mariela at the CPS office. I will never forget the way I felt on the way to their office. It made me think of the dread I felt the day I was driving to ...
