School where 6-year-old shot his teacher set to reopen.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The Virginia elementary school where a 6-year-old boy shot his teacher reopened Monday with stepped-up security and a new administrator, as nervous parents and students expressed optimism about a return to the classroom.
The Newport News school board cuts ties with the superintendent nearly three weeks after a 6-year-old shot a teacher. “There are concerns, of course,” she said. “We talked through it. His therapist gave me a thumbs-up and said he’s good,.”He said he still had some concern “it might happen again,” but that the stepped-up security measures make him feel better.The school board chair, Lisa Surles-Law, said roses were handed out to the students, and all parents were allowed to walk their kids into their classrooms. Therapy dogs were at the school and were being made available to all first-grade students, she said.
The security officers will also have a hand-held metal detector wand, Price said. New doors have been installed in classroom areas that didn’t have any, while other doors have been repaired or replaced, she added.The principal and assistant principal both left their jobs after the shooting, and a new administrator has been appointed to lead the school as part of a personnel shake-up.
