After Parkland, Schools Grapple With Threats — And The Best Ways To Respond
In the last two months, there have been almost 1,500 threats to schools in the U.S. And that number is most likely under-reported.
Two months ago today, a shooter killed 17 students and teachers at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
After the tragedy, threats to schools across the country rose.
In the month following, there were about 70 threats to schools per day. In the 59 days since the shooting, there have been almost 1,500 threats to schools across the country. And those numbers are likely under-reported, according to the group that tracks them, the Educator's School Safety Network.
