    S2 Ep 6 - School Safety in the Age of Gun Violence

    The mindset around school shootings is changing. They were once so horrific to comprehend that they seemed like freak occurrences – not events that would happen regularly. In this new normal, schools and students must ask difficult questions: Not if a next school shooting will occur, but when and where. This week, we hear from students, a parent and a VOSD reporter on how things are changing in the age of gun violence, what's working in local schools — and what's not.  vosd.org/learningcurve vosd.org/schoolspod See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
