"An adult woman and adult man, both of whom are not students, and a female student were all arrested following the incident, Bolton said. The adults were related to the female student, but Bolton would not disclose their relationship."
So again the School Dept. will have to be reactive instead of proactive. And make sure that the area is cordoned off before the area where the kids are, so no one can enter without proper ID.

"Brockton mother had a knife in her pocket and her daughter had a taser when they attacked a 15-year-old student at Brockton High School Tuesday, police said. Maria Monteiro, 48, of Brockton was charged with creating a disturbance at a school, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault, unlawful carrying of a dangerous weapon and trespassing. Monteiro's daughter, 15, who is also a student at the high school, was charged with unlawful carrying of a dangerous weapon, assault with a dangerous weapon, creating a school disturbance and resisting arrest. The teen's identity was withheld by police because she is a minor. The incident happened shortly before noon Tuesday during an open lunch period when Monteiro, her daughter and her boyfriend, John Davis, 26of Brockton were walking outside Brockton High School near the entrance of the gym."
As I said previously, the security has to be tightened up especially outside. The juvenile should eventually be expelled and should also serve time, IMO. You can't even imagine the stuff teachers and administrators handle on a day to day basis.

How do two adults get "near the entrance of the gym" while students are outside on lunch? Maybe time for a courtyard or one designated area that can be monitored by officials? Just speaking out loud here, may not be viable, but with all the mess in the world today the schools should be as safe as we can possibly make them.
You can't fix stupid.

It's a very accessible area retrofitted as a "courtyard". Security in this area should be looked at closely, however, that hasn't been addressed at least publicly as of yet.

"Thomas said they will be discussing the open lunch period and school safety measures. “The last thing you want to do is turn the school into a prison-like atmosphere. But school safety is number one and when something like this happens it makes you review all your protocols and procedures that you have in place,” Thomas said. “Do we place the floor teachers in a different location closer to the parking lot, so we can maybe pick these people up if they don’t head right to the main office doors and we confront them right away before they get near the courtyard? Do we have to post a police officer at every entrance to have people that drive in check in at a guard shack? Those are the things that you have to discuss all the time when you’re talking about school safety.”
School Department reactive instead of proactive.
