School security is a huge issue among every school in the nation. With the not so recent tragedies at Pearl River High in Pear, Mississippi, and Columbine High in Denver, Colorado people have questioned the security of our nations schools. Many states have taking vital steps toward making their schools safer, but is this enough.

It is a responsibility of everyone in the community to help with this problem, but more so of the parents. The parents must step in to help and produce feedback and possible solutions, for without the parents help t
