With the term hero being thrown around indiscriminately, I thought I'd share a few observations on true heroism demonstrated before, during and in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting. #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero sees something and says something #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero shelters others despite personal danger #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero holds a door open even when it will ultimately cost him his life #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero uses his body to stand between evil and the innocent #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero gives his life so that others may live #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero rushes into a building despite the danger #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero comforts and protects her friend in times of fear #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero stays late into the night with grieving families despite the personal pain #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong
A hero takes responsibility for leadership failures #NeverAgain #Parkland #MSDStrong

Wednesday (2/24/18) we gathered with 103 amazing people....most of the people were Alaina’s classmates and parents from kindergarten to 5th grade, along with friends of her brother, church friends and her kindergarten,
1st, 2nd and 5th grade teachers and a few staff members from the school.
While Wilder is over 3,000 miles away from Stoneman Douglas High School this shooting has affected our community. It was wonderful to hear the loving memories people had of Alaina.

I became a candidate for Broward County School Board to ensure my daughter and the 16 others on 2/14/18 would not die in vain. It has deeply impacted the community. These threats can never be allowed to fester again.
The @browardschools lawsuit against @SunSentinel should send a chill down our collective spines. We must have a free press to ensure a government that is accountable to the people. The district’s action is an outrage.
The Broward County School District, this school board and administration have a long established pattern of unaccountable behavior and a lack of transparency. That is nothing new.

This week I spent 3 days, listening to over 22 hrs of testimony as a Commissioner on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission.
fdle.state.fl.us/MSDHS/Home
As Commissioners, we heard testimony on issues ranging from public safety radio technology to Florida’s mental health system. fdle.state.fl.us/MSDHS/Meetings…
I was extremely impressed with presentations on threat assessment by the @SecretService fdle.state.fl.us/MSDHS/Meetings… and by @DCJS_VCSS fdle.state.fl.us/MSDHS/Meetings…

Without question, the single most effective means of preventing school violence is threat assessment. On Thursday, the @SecretService released updated guidelines on effective threat assessment. secretservice.gov/data/press/rel…
Dr. Alathari of the @SecretService testified before the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission this week. fdle.state.fl.us/MSDHS/Meetings…
Every school district should implement threat assessment as part of their school safety regimen. It should be done at EVERY school.

A stunningly self-serving statement. Nothing we’ve learned thus far absolves @browardschools or its leadership. The failure to make school safety a priority was systemic & cultural. 1/6
The inability to recognize failure is prima facie evidence that nothing has changed. Students & teachers are still unsafe. 2/6
Opportunities for intervention with Cruz were missed. Programs were incompetently managed & executed, yet @browardschools is taking a victory lap. 3/6

This is the definitive summary of the school safety meeting hosted by @BetsyDeVosED.
In addition to the comments included here I said: Despite the optimism shared by some of the panelist, I don’t feel we have made any progress on this issue in the 19 years since Columbine. When Mr. Eid related the failure at Columbine, it was as if he talking about Parkland.
The truth is we know how to prevent the vast majority of these schools shootings. That we don’t take the appropriate steps to keep our kids and teachers safe is a tragedy beyond words.
