If it seems like news of bomb threats at U.S. schools is becoming more common, that’s because it’s true. In fact, a new study by the Educator’s Safety Network has identified a total of 1,276 bomb threats in the 2015-2016 school year. That is TWICE as many as 2012-13. To say these threats have increased at a sharp rate is an understatement.

A recent theft at a school in Oklahoma City resulted in approximately $25,000 worth of loss and damage to iPads that had been recently gifted to Arthur Elementary.

News headlines are becoming increasingly saturated with accounts of school boards that are allowing approved staff members with concealed carry permits to carry guns. Recent examples in California and Texas are just two of many examples.
