Abstract
On February 14th, 2018, 17 students and educators were shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School (MSD) in Parkland, Florida. What followed was an extraordinary effort from those closely-tied to the tragedy to make schools safer. A year later, a comprehensive list of safety recommendations has been put forth and a new state bill is on the table to improve school safety efforts in Florida. However, these proposals are not without their critics. The following video drives the conversation of school safety and the improvements (or lack thereof) that have been made since the shooting to make schools safe. In this video are interviews with those who were intimately impacted by the tragedy, as well as experts with an outside perspective. Although there is no black-or-white answer to where the state of school safety is today, the four interviewees offer different viewpoints on the matter.
