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.

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.

This week I spent 3 days, listening to over 22 hrs of testimony as a Commissioner on the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Public Safety Commission.

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…

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

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.

Stoneman Douglas Shooter Was Assigned To Controversial Broward Discipline Program, Officials Now Say tinyurl.com/ycrbaotz This is a stunning revelation & one that flies in the face of previous statements. That the District released it on a Sunday is all the more concerning.

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
