The horrific loss of life in the Sandy Hook Elementary School got me to thinking about those families, the community of Newtown and the schools we serve. I am reminded of the good that takes place in schools across America and am saddened that such innocent and lovely children have been taken from their loved ones.
Too many areas served by Schools Count have far too much gun violence in their neighborhoods. Too often, lives, including school children, are lost at an alarming rate in many urban areas. It is a sad fact.
Our society is plagued by gun violence and it has to be curtailed at the very least. It is time for school leaders, government officials, civic organizations and the entire population to say that we have to put an end to this menace.
We can do better than this.
