I am a teacher at Holm Elementary, and we were also in lockdown with Workman and Washington due to these threats.

Sheriff Morgan and Superintendent Thomas, you’ve done a good job reacting to school threats, but where are the additional resource officers on the campuses and at the gates of Escambia County schools to deter school threats??
If public safety, and the safety of our children, our teachers, and our schools is a priority like every legislator, politician, and elected official across the state says it is, then why are you continuing to be reactive rather than proactive?
Enough lip service. Enough excuses about funding. Make it happen. Find a way. Your constituents demand it. If you can’t get it done, then start cleaning out your desks and packing your bags because come election time we will find those that CAN!
