On November 30, the Department of Homeland Security posted a bulletin stating, “The United States remains in a heightened threat environment.” The bulletin explains schools are still targets of potential violence. With that being said, we need to make every effort to strengthen schools nationwide to not allow another school shooting to occur. With the new year around the corner, this should continue to be the goal to keep our schools safe. KDNFS is here to provide that protection through our School Security System.
