Two faculty shot at East High in Denver

Watcha got to say Tay?

He's kinda busy with his hemorrhoids at the moment.

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

You guys oughta team up and run for governor.

He was definitely a candidate for remote learning. I learn more on the internet, than I ever did in high school.

I’d like to know what sentencing options the judge had in ‘21. Juvie court I assume so records probably not available. As pointed out previously I heartily agree he shouldn’t have been in a school at all.

Wonder how much the deans were a part of the "plan" to keep the thug in school and if they will be rethinking those plans in the future?

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

I imagine neither the judge nor the deans had much say in the issue and both the judge and deans realized that keeping Lyle in school was a risk to other students and faculty. Because this case involves a minor it is likely the back story won't come out for a long time. But, if Lyle was identified as being emotionally disturbed he would qualify for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and be protected from disciplinary actions as applied to students not considered "special education." This goes at least as far back as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (1965) which has been re-authorized more recently as Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (1975) and No Child Left Behind (2001). It was the authorization in 1975 that established the provision of a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) and a court case, Honig v. Doe (1998) that set the precedent of allowing students such as Lyle to remain in school. I'm not an expert but I have had some experience in this area and this is just off the top of my head. There are other acts of congress as well as court cases. These just seem the most pertinent. I might be wrong.

I try not to think about this too much as there is ample research that shows a stable family with a positive male role model (father) is the biggest indicator of a child's success but rather than go to the root of the issue, politicians would rather blame guns or try to tweak the schools and avoid the problem. Education is big business and consulting with a district to help improve performance is highly lucrative. Unfortunately, I think most of these consultants live by the saying, "If you can't fix the problem, there is great money in prolonging it."

DPS board votes unanimously to put armed police back in Denver high schools for rest of year

[buffalobo]

Imagine that...

Wonder how much the lawsuits will cost DPS?

I would be willing to bet the cost of full time SRO in each school is less.

Denver school board members put their own security(there is armed security in DPS building) and wages(most school boards are not paid, Denver is) above the safety and security of DPS students when they state there is not enough money in the budget for SRO's.

Budget is 1.28 billion for school year 22-23.

So Tay, why is your security more important than the students security?

If you're unarmed, you are a victim.

And just like that- yet more firearm control legislation to be introduced next week.
Ghost gun ban- 30 days to “register”.

Back inside the Capitol, Democratic lawmakers are preparing to introduce a bill next week that would ban ghost guns in the state.

“I think it has a direct relationship to what happened in East is that it's one of the ways that students are getting guns is these untraceable firearms. Many of them you can order through mail order kits,” said Sen. Chris Hansen, D-Denver.

Ghost guns do not have a serial number and can either be 3D printed or purchased in parts then assembled. They are virtually untraceable.

The bill will do three things: outlaw guns without serial numbers, ban the manufacturing of ghost guns and prohibit mail order of the firearm kits.

People with firearms that do not have a serial number would be given 30 days to register them with the state. For those who don’t and are caught with a ghost gun, Hansen says a first and second offense would result in a misdemeanor charge. A third offense would result in a class five felony under the current draft.

Interestingly Hansen is also running for Mayor of Denver.
