  1. It’s not exactly true that students were delayed access to the school. Special needs buses were allowed to release their kids to the school and there were random students walking around the school grounds as if nothing was going on. Not very secure in my humble opinion.

  2. To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Basic Physics 101! Open your books kids and learn versus this nonsense! Disrupting school time/events on school property is punishable by State Law!! Grow UP!!
