Training, rapid response tools crucial to school safety
Jim Fish is superintendent of North Branch Area School District in Michigan. In November 2021, a mass shooting took place at Oxford High School in Oxford Township, Michigan. This was just 20 miles south of — and painstakingly close to — North Branch Area Schools, where it’s my job to manage the day-to-day operations of the district. Our school system encompasses four school buildings, over 2,000 students and nearly 300 teachers and staff.
