The threat of a school shooting is an ongoing issue that teachers have to face amid other stressors in the workplace, including low pay, increased responsibilities and a shortage of teachers.
Kelsey Vidal, left, Andrew Montzingo, and Marissa Minnick-Metcalf, are speaking out about safety plans in school.Kelsey Vidal, 1st grade teacher in CaliforniaSince her first year of teaching, Kelsey Vidal said she has included physical safety items like a metal barricade bar for her classroom door on her Amazon wish list for her classroom.
Vidal said having physical barriers like the metal bar, which can rest on a door jamb and lock it down, and adding extra precautions such as a bulletproof backpack and a baseball bat help her "feel a little safer" in the classroom with her young students. Over the course of his eight-year teaching career, Andrew Montzingo said he has practiced various drills with students, including lockdown and shelter-in-place drills.
But he said he also wonders whether he and his school have done enough, especially since the school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. "We, as teachers, brought forth more understanding to the kids, helping them realize you're safe, these are the things that we have in place, letting them know that, yes, we have cameras in the hallway but those are to keep you safe. They're not to make you feel scared or anything like that."
