[QUOTE="KPRC2, post: 56207, member: 148"] Packed into the Stafford Centre auditorium were teachers, administrators, and law enforcement officers from three school districts. “Student and staff safety are our number one priorities,” said Roosevelt Nivens, Superintendent for Lamar CISD. So, before students re-enter the classroom, school employees from Lamar CISD, Stafford MSD and Fort Bend ISD spent the day learning how to prevent another Uvalde. “The entire makeup of the school is not just the building,” said Mac Bostic, former secret service agent and Vice President of Evitar Systems. “The entire makeup of the school is the community, it’s the child and it’s the building.” Former United States Secret Service members led the training. “Secret service has the best training when it comes to the assessing of situations,” Mac said.
