Safety & Security
Audits
In a 2024 article, The Washington Post reported that more than 383,000 students have experienced gun violence at school since the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. Data from a national database shows a dramatic increase in school shootings since the Sandy Hook tragedy in 2012, with over 1,800 incidents recorded between 2012 and 2024.
Even students not directly impacted by school violence often attend classes in fear. A Pew Research Center study found that 57% of American teenagers worry about the possibility of a shooting occurring at their school.
