Considerations from the Review of the Oxford Shooting
After reading through the report discussing the events leading up to and occurring during the attack at Oxford high school, including the findings of the authors, providing commentary from a school-based, multi-disciplinary group seemed necessary. This paper addresses points of concern with that publication in several areas: expectations, perspective, bag searches, camera monitoring, training, suicide and threat assessment, and omissions. It then concludes with suggestions for districts in their approach to school safety.
