Cops just arrested someone in front of my school.

Not sure why.

1. No need to be scared of your own shadow. Keep doing good work and fight the good fight.

Gun culture needs to fear the majority.

2. Hang in there...

It's gonna be okay. Whatever it was, it was dealt with, and it was probably nothing.

5. Just found out it was a truant kid.

He got mouthy with the cops.

9. Never been so happy to hear about something like that. nt

3. I was just reading some of the messages from the local

schools web pages in my area, all of them are reassuring parents that their kids are safe and all of them have set up outreach for parents and kids who are traumatized by Friday's massacre.

4. Yup, here's what Fairfax County, VA emailed to all the parents:

Dear FCPS Families and Employees,

In response to Friday's tragedy in Connecticut, the Fairfax County Police Department will be increasing patrols and visibility this week around all FCPS schools, including elementary schools. This is not in response to any specific threat but rather a police initiative to enhance safety and security around the schools and to help alleviate the understandably high levels of anxiety. Police patrols will be increased throughout the school day from the opening of schools to dismissal. As always, FCPS security personnel will also be patrolling our schools, focusing on elementary schools during the school day.

Counselors and mental health support for staff and students will be available at all schools beginning tomorrow. Please let a teacher, counselor, or principal know if you need assistance. In addition, resources for support are available at www.fcps.edu .

There is nothing more important to us than providing a safe and secure learning environment for our students and employees. I want to assure you that we will continue to be vigilant in our efforts to protect them.

Thanks to the Fairfax County Police Department and FCPS security personnel for their efforts. Our thoughts remain with the children and families in Newtown.


Jack Dale
Superintendent

7. I'd think most PD's are zero tolerance as of late.

Pretty much expected IMO.
