School marshalls? What on earth is going on over there in the US? Why is it the rest of developed nations aren’t having this shooting issue, yet your children over your side of the pond have to learn how to take cover (sometimes in a crowd so others get hit instead) and run in a zig-zag. Sounds like a bleeding nightmare warzone.
in fairness to the main guy profiled in this story, his job is substantially more extensive than just school shootings and most of these are pretty important things to have contingencies for:
The proximity of the Porcupine Fire to Big Sky’s school campus speaks to a point easily obscured by the persistent shadow of national school tragedies like Sandy Hook and Uvalde: Active shooters aren’t the only threat Montana schools have to prepare for. Earthquakes, hazmat spills, propane explosions, fires on or off school property — much of the responsibility for anticipating and responding to such threats is now on Daugherty’s shoulders as he updates the district’s contingency plans for a variety of potential crises and works with local entities like the Big Sky Fire Department and Big Sky Medical Center to improve cross-agency communication.
