School Safety Resources



If people want safe schools they're going to have to invest themselves in making them safe....to get involved knee deep in making them safe. 

It simply isn't good enough to make excuses.


Pointing the finger of blame afterward just doesn't cut it anymore! Actually, it never did, but it's what many folks still do. Just take a look at what's still going on in the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre.

The resources are out there.....LOTS of resources are out there. 

Many of those resources don't cost one red cent. Some are low cost, but they...are...out...there!!!

If only people knew where to look to help them get started.....hmmmm.

Under the line below is a pretty comprehensive but by no means complete list of school safety resources, both public and private, to help anyone and everyone wanting to get involved in doing so. 

Any additions please use the 'Contact Form' to let me know. They'll get added as they are received if appropriate.

Thanks.

RIP Anne Marie

  Anne Marie Hochhalter Born December 19, 1981 Died February 16, 2025 Hero Courageous Fighter Fiercely Independent Survivor Advocate Victim Following her death on February 16, 2025, all of the above adjectives have been used to describe who my daughter, Anne Marie Hochhalter, was. Thing is, I never saw her as such. I saw her as my daughter, my first-born child. She will always remain so. Please don't get me wrong. I do believe some of those accolades listed above must have, in fact, applied to Anne Marie. Otherwise, so many people would not be using them to describe their own knowledge of who she was. I just never got to see them or experience them with her as they applied to her at least from December 2009 until her death. I wasn't allowed to (more on that later). There were snippets here and there in media stories, but that was all I got to experience of her activities. But I digress. As most folks already know, Anne Marie was critically injured during the Columbine massacre....

A "Logical Fallacy" Extraordinaire!

The below graphic has been circulating on pro-gun sites for quite awhile now, at least since 2011. I've seen it pop up in different variations many times since then. I'm  sharing it here for one reason, and one reason only: to try to illustrate something known as a logical fallacy.  Numerical statistics can be both a blessing and a curse especially when they're being used as justification for illustrating one's point of view.....in this case doing nothing when talking about, and discussing possible remedies for gun violence in this country. If this is all we are willing to look at, then woe is us. Maybe we need to start calling them illogical truths. I don't know. It's frustrating. By looking at the graphic we can obviously infer what the message is - do nothing because the number of fatalities by assault style weapons is smaller than anything else and pretty minuscule when compared against both drunk drivers and malpractice deaths. So many gun rights...

Arm Teachers? Let's Make Them 'Emergency Management Specialists' Instead

DO SOMETHING! A refrain used all too often following most mass school shootings. Do something ! Simple. Straightforward. Succinct Easily understood. Because that refrain is used so often following most mass school shootings, it then must also logically follow that there’s an ongoing problem with school safety, right? Are our schools as safe as they can be? It seems a whole lot of people think their schools are NOT safe and that nothing is being done to make them as safe as they need to be! But is that perception accurate? Well, yes and no. Arguably, one of the bigger problems I see with school safety is that when a mass school shooting happens, it’s become ‘normal’ for these incidents to dominate the 24-hour news cycle for a much shorter time than they used to. Please don’t get me wrong. They still garner a whole lot of ‘thoughts and prayers’, but usually for a much shorter period of time. The reality is they simply don’t get the same level of ongoing attention they used to. I should k...
