Ron, I am glad that you are in close touch with schools.

I agree that a policy does not prevent shootings and I agree that most who need help are not brought to light by policies. However, if a policy is in place, it has to be followed. "Due process" also means following the existing policies.

As I have written in regards to other school shooting issues, the way to help and the way to make good policy is to hold up something positive, more than to fight what is negative. (I've done that in parent programs.) Since you can make the most impact on policies at your own school-- if this is really an important issue for you, especially as a parent, what is the positive thing to hold up in your school district in this situation?
