"Ultimately, Klinger says, schools and law enforcement should think holistically about their approach to school safety and be prepared for false reports. " wired.com/story/swatting…

Through local news reports, police records, and interviews with state and local officials, WIRED compiled a list of 92 false reports of school shooting incidents in 16 states that took place from September 13 to 30. wired.trib.al/x9ZcPaP

@DDstarbucks @CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger Stepping away for now. Seriously- thanks for correcting what you said. I would be happy to discuss this with you further. I'm extremely proud of the work we do. Please reach out via email- I'd be happy to answer all your questions.

@Eschoolsafety @CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger For an organization that hadn't tweeted in 4 months, you are on a roll!

Dr. Amy Klinger (@DrAmyKlinger) from the non-profit Educator's School Safety Network (@Eschoolsafety) discusses the recent mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Watch Here: bit.ly/3wSUxR2

@DDstarbucks @CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger We hadn't tweeted in 4 months because the person who was helping us with social media went back to work in a school. Don't have funding for a full time person. I (@amandaklinger) have stepped in today because of your initial (inaccurate) tweet about our affiliations.

@DDstarbucks @CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger Our focus is more narrow than what you think it should be that is not 'showing our stripes'

@Eschoolsafety @CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger "Stay in your lane?" Real reformers identify the source of the problem, and advocate for removal of the source. The source of mass shootings are guns. Real safety advocates advocate for common sense gun control. You just showed your stripes.

@DDstarbucks @CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger There are TONS of organizations focusing on the reforms you suggest. We don't negate their work. We provide educator-based professional development so teachers can work to prevent violence in their schools and be better prepared for ALL types of school safety concerns.

@CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger Also important to remember that educators and school leaders can control school safety preparedness and work to prevent violence (in many forms) in schools. Educators cannot control gun policy. Let us stay in our lane and do our work.

@Eschoolsafety @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger School safety org. appearing on Cspan because of latest Texas mass school shooting using near military level munitions & hardware! Yet Güns are the 800# gorilla, whether in the hands of teachers, administrators, volunteers, parents, (kids!?) , ex students. . C’mon! THE GUNS!!

@CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger This doesn't preclude anyone else from having a discussion about firearms. We think there is value in examining this tragic, complex issue with different lenses. Our lens is school safety- schools face a wide variety of risks and hazards-we don't focus on just one.

@CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger Dr. Klinger is a former public school teacher and administrator. Our organization helps schools improve school safety from a comprehensive, all-hazards approach. That is our focus.

@PalmettoPirate1 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger That's an oversimplification and misstatement of Dr. Klinger's position. Physical security has an important role to play in the work of keeping schools safe, but 'hardening' and other physical security measures can't be our only approach.

@cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger @Eschoolsafety This lady isgiving up on physical security because it's not 100% foolproof. Military bases aren't foolproof but you don't throw up your hands and not try. You still have to try lady. Unbelievable attitude. My Ring doorbell protects my house more than our schools are protected.

@CindyJe31259024 @vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger We are a school safety organization. Dr. Klinger is a school safety expert, not a firearms expert or law enforcement expert. She is just staying in her lane. There is plenty of discussion elsewhere about firearms if that is your interest.

@vaccinesSaveUsa @LuckyCharms1961 @kdevil66 @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger @Eschoolsafety Interesting this woman has not addressed the hardware of choice the Texas killer chose. But All kinds of talk about school hardware, doors, alarms, cameras etc . . . Ohio, Right wing vibes I’m getting here.

@DDstarbucks @beth_project8 Thanks for the correction, we appreciate it. We are small, independent and educator-focused. We do our best to help educators keep schools safe. We try to have free resources available. We have a free online, on-demand course: eschoolsafety.org/101 please pass it on!

@beth_project8 I just deleted that tweet. The Educator's Network of charter schools is not affiliated w @Eschoolsafety My bad.

@agi_ck @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger We try to focus on a more comprehensive approach- 'school safety' not just 'school security' but an all-hazards approach to school safety involves sustained attention and effort is possible at public and private schools and we have assisted both.

@cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger @Eschoolsafety Are you seeing differences in security at private vs public schools?

@agi_ck @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger in our experience, there is not a clear correlation between preparedness at public or private schools. It is a leadership issue. This work takes sustained commitment, being proactive, and using evidence-based best practices. That happens in private and public schools alike.

@DDstarbucks @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger @Heritage I'm not sure what salary information you are viewing, (searched salary.com and found nothing applicable) but our publicly filed tax documents are accurate: compensation less than 50K for our employees.

@Eschoolsafety @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger @Heritage Thank you for the clarification. Heritage quotes your work in their articles, and there is an Educator's Network of charter schools. And Salary.com lists your executive compensation in the millions.

SAT| Dr. Amy Klinger (@DrAmyKlinger) from the non-profit Educator's School Safety Network (@Eschoolsafety) discusses the recent mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Watch LIVE at 8:00am ET!

@DDstarbucks @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger @Heritage We publish our research and as you can imagine, we cannot control who cites it. We do not operate or have any affiliation with a network of charter schools.

@DDstarbucks @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger We have no connection, affiliation or partnership with the Heritage foundation or any charter school network.

@DDstarbucks @cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger You can head to our website, eSchoolSafety.org to see that we offer a variety of school safety professional development services to help educators and school leaders. We do not offer a 'one-size-fits-all' training solution.

@cspanwj @DrAmyKlinger @Eschoolsafety How much does the safety training cost a small district of about 500 employees? How many districts get your training?
