Oxford-The Oxford School District is strengthening security measures, including permanent police, trauma consultants in each building, safe rooms operated by crisis teams, and treatment dogs.

The Oxford Board of Education has met for the first time since the fatal shooting at their high school on November 30 that took the lives of four students. There, I heard that the region is adjusting operations.

Since the shooting on November 30, elementary and middle school classes have remained closed for a week, while high school has been closed due to the shooting of 14-year-old Hana St. Juliana on November 30; McGrady Sean Baldwin, 17 years old; Tetmeier, 16 years old; 17 year old Justin Shilling (Justin Shilling) was killed and 7 others were injured.

At the same time, Principal Tim Throne told reporters before the board meeting that the tentative reopening of the high school on January 3 is no longer realistic.

"I don't think we will be able to meet this.... We work around the clock. The governor's office is trying to open up some supply chains for us.... We know it is important to get our children back to school as soon as possible," Throne said .

Lemond said there were no security changes on Tuesday night that required the board to take action because they were temporary in nature. Raimund said that these measures will take effect this week in elementary and middle schools that have resumed classes, and will start after the winter break in January. She did not set an end date, but added that any long-term changes would require changes to school policies.

• Add additional police force for the "foreseeable future" beyond the existing school resource officers and armed security guards in the school district. The school district is getting a private security company to hire a security guard for each building.

• Hire a private security company to conduct a comprehensive security review.

• Stop using backpacks temporarily and choose transparent backpacks in the future.

• Use Gaggle and GoGuardian to monitor social media activity.

• Equip a licensed trauma consultant in each building for acute and long-term support.

• Designate and train a construction crisis team to operate the "safe room".

The security update also called for "zero tolerance" for law enforcement agencies and school administrators. Lemond explained that the zero-tolerance policy means that any student who commits any threats of violence or creates violent images in the school will be immediately expelled from the school-rather than suspended or expelled-and school administrators and school resource officers will be taken immediately. To notice.

Students can only return after the third-party mental health review is completed.

"There is no room for discretion right now," Raimund told the board. "Any student who provides any remote violence or threatens in any way will be dismissed from school. The government intervenes and law enforcement intervenes."

A forum was provided for parents on Tuesday night to address school officials at the first formal meeting since the mass shooting. Some people took this as an opportunity to blame the board of directors and policies before the shooting.

"Who set an example for complaints (about students)?" said 45-year-old Lori Bourgeau, a female councillor in Oxford Village and the parent of an 11th grade student.

"You leave it with the counselor and the student director, just. Look for ammunition. Letters, take photos, and do you have a disciplinary file? That won't work. Don't let the kids come in to find ammunition and return to class. You set the tone. I hope You did this a month ago. You could have saved lives."

Shane Gibson, 43, told the board that his 8-year-old daughter “asked me if I would send her to school and if she would die. She asked me this question a few days ago, telling you that my heart is broken is an understatement.”

"For these children, the loss of innocence is the most heartbreaking," he said. "My son and my daughter will live for the rest of their lives."

Gibson asked the board of directors about "another loss."

"How can we get back to normal," he said. "...How do we let my children receive the education they deserve? Because now, every time there is a threat, they will be sent home. Every time there is a threat, they will not go to school the next day . I can accept it because I want them to be safe. But as the school board, as the school district, how will we ensure that there will be no other losses, that is their education loss, is that what they take for granted?"

Just before the incident on November 30, Oxford school staff decided not to remove the 15-year-old suspect, Ethan Crumbley, who was accused of shooting four students in the school and wounding others. Seven people, this has become a central issue of concern to students. Investigators and prosecutors are evaluating the case. 

Crumbley's actions, paintings, online searches, and Internet posts caught the attention of Oxford High School officials, leading to the shooting when they spoke to the teenager at several intervention meetings.

According to police and school officials, on the day of the shooting, a teacher in Crubley saw and reported graphics with violent images and requests for help to the counselor.

After being taken to the office, Krubley allegedly told the consultant that his paintings were part of the video game he was designing and that he planned to make video game design a career, the Throne said in a statement. Crumbley stayed in the office for about 90 minutes and dealt with school homework when the school tried to contact his parents.

Throne said that after talking to the parents of James and Jennifer Crumbley in the school office and talking to their son again, the Oxford school counselor concluded that he had no intention of self-harm or hurt others. His parents were told that they had 48 hours to seek counseling for their children, otherwise the school would contact the Child Protection Service. Throne said that they were asked to take their son home on the same day, but they "categorically" refused and no son left.

In the end, the counselor chose to release Crumbley from the main office to the school again on the day of the shooting—rather than involving school administrators or police.

“Since the child had not violated discipline before, it was decided to send him back to the classroom instead of sending him home to an empty house. These incidents still remain at the level of counselors and have never been promoted to the level of principals or assistants in the principal’s office," said Throne.

A day ago, a teacher also witnessed the teenager searching for ammunition on the Internet.

Experts say that in addition to keeping Crumbley in school, Oxford school officials have other options, and most schools use a team approach—consisting of a school counselor, school administrator, and a school official—to decide how Dealing with a student's behavior raises a safety issue in the school.

The throne was designated as one of several defendants in a $100 million lawsuit filed by two survivors that accused school officials of failing to prevent attacks that caused physical and psychological harm to students.
