    Blocked on FB — I guess this is thorny issue

    Found a 10+ year analysis of Philadelphia School District lockdown records

    I found the following report, Across the Philly School District, lockdowns happen as frequently as every other day, published by Billy Penn. We plan on doing a close read-through of the report, contacting the author/reporter to pick his/her brain, and finally using the structure, strategy, and maybe even some of the findings of this report as a basis for our own research into school lockdowns in Chester County.

  • 1/15/20

    Found a Washington Post database of school shootings

    The database done by the Washington Post starts off with this main statistic, "More than 236,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since Columbine." There is absolutely more we can get from this database, we may contact the writers/researchers behind it to discuss their methodology.

  • 1/16/20

    Found a Washington Post study on school lockdowns

    The piece, "What if someone was shooting?" done by the Washington Post, goes over the many different factors that contribute to a school going on lockdown as well as how the lockdowns effect children psychologically. There is a lot we can take from this study/piece for our own research report, especially if we can get their PA related lockdown data; if there is any.

  • 1/17/20

    Found a New York Times piece on 11 students real thoughts/feelings while their schools were on lockdown

    ‘This Is Not a Drill’: 11 Students on the Terror of Lockdowns, was an incredibly emotionally impactful piece that really helps humanize this issue. It is important, even though we are doing data based research, to remain conscious of the human component behind a story like this. Especially when it was a concerned Chester County area parent like Jeff Milligan who sponsored this story in the first place!

    Went by the Coatesville Area School District Office to try to meet with Police Chief Frank Galbraith

    I need to speak with School District Police Chief Frank Galbraith, of the Coatesville School District, to get the answer to "How many lockdowns in Chester County, PA in 2019?" but specifically for the Coatesville district to start off. I was told by multiple people who work in the district that he is the only one who has and could provide us this information. I've called and left multiple messages as well as emails. No one at the district office would provide Chief Galbraith's schedule or any times where I could come back and reach him. We'll see where things go from here!

    Email response from Coatesville Area School District Police Chief Frank Galbraith

    FULL EMAIL RESPONSE: "Mr. Gomberg, Thank you for your email. I do apologize for the delayed response. However, at this time, the Coatesville Area School District is not at liberty to share that data. I'd like to direct you to the National Center for Education Statistics (https://nces.ed.gov/), where you will find data on a national level. Thank you, Frank Galbraith."
