<p>School Security Petition<br /> <br />With deep respect and admiration to the Hanhala of Masores Bais Yaakov;<br />Picture this:<br />Chas Visholom our city is under attack. Our children are in YOUR school and under YOUR care during this time. We as parents cannot get to our children. Would you feel comfortable knowing they are in your school building and your responsibility? Would they be secure? Would you feel our children were protected? Can you tell us that with only the current camera system that is not full proof and a man/woman who is untrained at the front door that Masores Bais Yaakov is 100% secure?<br />The ISIS attach in Paris is a chilling reminder of our vulnerability here in the United States. Schools here especially Jewish ones remain open and soft targets. Just today our city conducted an active shooter emergency drill. Why are our children not being prepared chas visholom if something happened? Would our children know what to do? Where to hide? Would the teachers? How can they if there are no lockdown practice drills being done? You as our Hanhala can strengthen our school security and emergency awareness during this time of heightened terrorist threats.<br />We as parents cannot stand by another day and feel comfortable sending our children to their school in light of the escalating tense situation. We have stood by and watched countless other schools invest in a private security companies at their own expense with armed guards and trained dogs. Weve entrusted many of our precious children under your care however we cannot as parents let this continue. We cannot leave our children open and vulnerable.<br />The safety of our children is our number one priority, it should be yours as well. We demand that Masores Bais Yaakov hire armed security guards. We cannot hear about meetings and talks and NOTHING being done. <br /> <br /> </p>
