That would be Southwest Licking.

I hope you are right about that not happening in that school district.

The sad thing is, my kids went to a very country school in RURAL South-Central Ohio. When my daughter was a Jr. (1996), my son was in Jr. High, and my niece was a Sr. we had a major incident. A kid came in with a loaded gun in his backpack.

He showed it to one of his buddies, and the kid had the smarts to go to the principal and let him know what was going on.

The kid with the gun was in Study Hall at the time, and they called the kids to the office one by one...my niece happened to be the last one called out.

After all the students had been called out of the Study Hall (thank God the kid with the gun didn't panic and start shooting), the sheriff and the principal converged on the kid, grabbed his backpack, and confiscated the gun.

Just goes to show that this kind of thing can happen anywhere.

All of our public schools need to be on lockdown status. (Our little country highschool mentioned above is).

I know that it's sad that it's come to that, but if we want to keep the innocent students and teachers safe, it needs to be done, IMO
