To be honest with ourselves, if this started with Federal Department of Education funding plums for well behaved schools, then the start of this policy goes back to the Bush era.
After some school policy success at the state level in Texas, like so many State officials running for Federal office before him, George W. Bush made initiatives into state and local school districts from Federal programs a big part of his campaign.
Did the Obama administration also foist such Federal overreach onto local schools, doubling down on what was all ready in place? You betcha, but this is overgrown Federal programs from both parties.

In the Parkland case, their security system had a dismal record concerning student safety and security that should be brought to public discussion particularly beginning with this school having a so called “gun free zone”.
It did have an officer who may be armed assigned to patrol the multi acre site in a golf cart, but bans guns from the rest of its internal security
Criticism arose when the officer assigned to this duty who was nearing retirement He was reported to arrive late and after Cruz had entered the building but stationed himself outside the large structure and had called for support. Two officers responded Which and did the same. He then left before Cruz did.
These laissez faire attitudes suggest examining records of reporting how the bureaucracy at this school handled student vs student, and student vs teacher (Cruz was accused of this) altercations, vandalism, thefts, and drug use. Which are bound to occur were being dealt with.To which a dramatic reduction in disciplinary incidents were reported after a visit by Obama occurred.
Because of these Ding Bat liberal policies it brings up another question. Just how safe and secure are those kids ? There’s a lot of krap that happens; Assaults, fights, thefts, books and items stolen, teachers accosted, kids intimidated....
Examine records reporting how student vs student, and student vs teacher altercations, vandalism, and thefts, which are bound to occur were being dealt with.
Because in an educational unit this size it’s pretty clear their security system failed . In a secure system Cruz would have never gotten inside.Now that school board has decided to tear down the school which was probably raised by a funding referendum and the grounds house a memorial.
I’m getting an account suspended message at the link.
Yes, my site has been hacked. I’m working with the hosting service to get it resolved. Might take a while.
These liberals play dirty.
. . . the very existence of the Department of Education is a clear and present danger.The Constitution says that
[the president] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient . . .and it looks like the president should be telling Congress to abolish the monster known as the Department of Education. And also abolish any incentive for local police to manipulate the statistics by avoiding necessary law enforcement.
