Since the 26 deaths at Sandy Hook, at least a dozen schools have been the site of mass shootings or killings, according to a USA TODAY, Associated Press and Northwestern University database.
But according to Mary Filardo, founder and executive director of the 21st Century School Fund, any security features schools added on will be superficial unless part of a larger building modernization effort. And Filardo predicts most schools will opt for piecemeal safety measures given the limited and uneven local investment in public school facilities, paired with the imminent expiration date of federal pandemic-era relief money.
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, signed into law by President Joe Biden over the summer, sets asidefor school safety, including mental health services, but spread across the country's nearly 100,000 public schools won't provide necessary facility upgrades to make them truly safe, Filardo said. "The problem is far too many school districts don’t have the funds for more comprehensive modernization of their aged schools," she said.These add-ons also tend to lead to an imbalance in which kinds of students have access to what kinds of safety measures.
that students at “high surveillance” schools – those with exclusionary discipline policies and lots of student monitoring – tend to have lower math performance and higher dropout rates.
