Keep the Schools Safe for the Workers...

and the children required to be in them:

Three days after one student killed another with a knife in the halls of Harding High School, the school staff gathered for a meeting with Superintendent Joe Gothard.

When someone asked, “Who here was not surprised that this happened?” almost every hand went up, according to three teachers who attended the meeting.

“This wasn’t a one-time thing. It was inevitable,” one teacher told the Pioneer Press.

The Pioneer Press granted anonymity to five Harding teachers who wanted to talk about school safety but say they feared reprisal from a district with a history of retaliation. Here's the report, from Sunday's front page, from Josh Verges.
