Baker Boy 1,703 Posted July 18, 2022 Uvalde shooting report finds 'culture of noncompliance' among staff, 'tacitly condoned' by administrators The Texas House of Representatives report found Uvalde school administrators 'tacitly condoned' unsafe practices at Robb Elementary School https://www.foxnews.com/us/uvalde-shooting-report-finds-culture-noncompliance-staff-tacitly-condoned-administrators Quote In the 77-page report released on Sunday, investigators said school administrators adopted a "regrettable culture of noncompliance" with safety and security measures leading up to the shooting on May 24 at Robb Elementary School which left 19 children and two adults dead. This noncompliance "turned out to be fatal," the report said. They also "tacitly condoned" unsafe practices by knowingly violating or allowing others to violate rules that required doors to be closed and locked. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardcore troubadour 15,506 Posted July 18, 2022 On 7/15/2022 at 11:20 AM, Voltaire said: Nearly a month after the rampage, Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, further amended what his agency’s investigation shows: The teacher did close the door, but unbeknownst to her, it could be locked only from the outside. The gunman “walked straight through,” McCraw said Tuesday in blistering testimony at a state Senate hearing in Austin. Ronald Stephens, executive director of the National School Safety Center, said he was “astonished” that the exterior door could only be locked from the outside. He likened it to a house that could only be locked from the outside. “Shouldn’t the security of the school be as safe as the security of your home?” he asked. https://apnews.com/article/politics-shootings-texas-school-safety-2c97d26b56e8b081aa725ee2235e4a3b That's just some insanity that boggles the mind. Who in the fock designs schools like this. Granted, I say that living in a Chinese apartment with all the window installed inside out, I just expect better in the US. Meanwhile, Uvalde's classroom doors only locked from the outside. The thinking with schools built in 1955 was you lock up when you go home for the day. Also they didn't want little sh*tbags to get their jollies by locking fellow students or the teacher out of the classroom. So there was no way to lock the door from the inside, the killer could just walk in the classroom... but once he was in there, there was no way for him to lock the door to keep the cops out. He needed a cowardly police reaction to do that to themselves. This is contradicted in the report. “Room 111 could be locked, but it required some extra effort to get the lock to engage”’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 5,317 Posted July 19, 2022 It's really disappointing but also eye opening as we're learning so much about failures after failure occurring at seemingly every layer in this situation. We've beaten up the police response pretty good. I want to talk about the doors. Alright so everyone agrees that you need these fire escape doors. Gotcha. And the fire escape door next to the parking lot is always and forever going to be especially super-popular with the teachers. It's probably too much to ask/expect for the next eternity that all the teachers, in all the school, all across the country to spend four minutes there and four minutes back, going all the way around every time they forget something in their car. No, they are going to take the shortcut, prop the door open, and be back in the classroom in 45 seconds. But all these fire escape doors, has absolutely got to lock automatically from the inside and checked every day. The responsibility for that has to fall on the school admin staff and/or the custodians. Meanwhile the local police and fire department both will want this at the top of the list whenever they make their annual/semi-annual rounds. Then these inside doors, the teachers and other staff have to be able to lock them from both outside and inside the classroom, but also designed in a way that prevents brats like little BeenHereBefore from locking them from the inside. If schools don't have these doors with these locks that need replacing, I'd think the funding to do so would be an easy sell at the local, state, and local levels. It passes what Phil Gramm use to call his Dickey Flatt Test. "Am I willing to look Dickey Flatt in the eye and ask him to reach into his wallet, to cough up tax money to provide more secure doors for school?" Absolutely.

None of the articles I’ve read actually link it. Also what are you saying is contradicted? The definition of the lock being “busted”? It still sounds like the classroom doors could only lock from the outside anyway, so it wouldn’t have mattered. In other words, the teachers did nothing wrong here.
