The recent school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School in Wisconsin left three dead, including the shooter, highlighting ongoing concerns about school safety. Despite 39 school shootings in 2024, the lack of a resource officer at the school raises questions about preparedness. Kristen Devitt, an expert in school safety, discusses the importance of data-informed decision-making in response to safety crises, cautioning against relying on unproven vendors promising quick solutions. This incident reflects broader issues in how schools assess and manage security threats in the current landscape of violence in education.
Second, as an emotional reaction to a school safety crisis, leadership can be susceptible to vendors who will promise the world but significantly under deliver.
However, local law enforcement arrived three minutes after a teacher called 911 to report the shooting.
