Over the past several years, the country has experienced a growing trend of school shootings. That can of course lead to an uneasy feeling for parents or students. While the U.P. has thankfully not seen a mass shooting, there are unseen trends impacting the ways school administrators prepare to keep students safe.
From 2000-2009, there were 88 school shootings in the U.S. That number has grown since. Between 2015-2024, there were 390. 2019 alone saw 61 shootings, a record high for a single year.
Dr. Sarah Stilwell talks with TV6 about the importance of understanding school safety trends and addressing each with a comprehensive strategy.
