When School Safety Measures Fail: Lessons from Recent Incidents

A locked door, a metal detector, or an emergency plan can create a sense of security, but are those measures enough?

In this episode, Kelly Moore and Ethan Woodman examine several recent school safety incidents and discuss what they reveal about the gaps in school security. They cover warning signs that shouldn't be overlooked, the importance of properly investigating threats, limitations of weapons detection, building vulnerabilities, and the responsibility of schools and parents to prepare children for emergencies.

The conversation also explores why consistent training matters and how preparation can help students and staff make better decisions when faced with a dangerous situation.
