We will be holding a community feedback meeting at FORM STUDIOS 601 E. Main St., Buford.
This will be a respectful, open and non-political discussion focused only on our BCSS recommendation.
Please review our current recommendation below prior to attending.
Please join us as we review our community led school safety requests with the BCSS Board.
Board meetings are held at the BCSS Central Office at 2625 Sawnee Ave., Buford.
Started by four Buford Moms and created for all BCSS families and children. This is for Moms, Dads, Aunts, Uncles and anyone who cares about the future of our BCSS students and staff.
Fueled by heartbreak and anger following the Apalachee High School shooting, four moms came together and decided that something, anything, needed to be done to further protect our precious children. We refuse to stand by, refuse to let AHS be added to the long list of school murders without trying our absolute hardest to make even a small change.
We recognize that there are larger discussions needed on this crisis: Metal health, Gun laws, Substance Abuse, Family dysfunction and more. We also recognize that those are way larger than us and way larger than Buford.
A petition was created to make impactful change where we can, within our small community. It started as a petition to install metal detectors and it has evolved into so much more.
Our community has come together with overwhelming support and incredible ideas.
Our request is to build upon the existing security protocol in place by requesting the following approach:
FOR IMMEDIATE CHANGE:
Centegix CrisisAlert Badges for All Staff
Community Task Force for regular, open discussion of options and needs
Tools and Training for our teachers and staff to answer questions that our students bring up around school shootings, active shooter drills and more.
-----
FOR IMMEDIATE AND THOROUGH CONSIDERATION:
Weapon Detectors at Critical Access Points that DO NOT alert for every day items, such as laptops, phones, music instruments or sports equipment.
Additional Security Presence through our Veterans, Retired LEO, passionate community members and more.

" I support anything keeping our kids safer and decreases the anxiety that comes with the fear of the possibility of a school shooting. "
" Our children's protection is our top most priority."
"We should have metal detectors at every school facility in the U.S. Governments #1 responsibility is to keep citizens safe. They are Failing!! We can easily harden our schools and prevent shootings"
"If we have metal detectors in court houses for armed police officers and guards inside, we should have them for innocent children and teachers. Completely for this"
"Please, please do something to protect my grandchildren!!!"
"100% support this effort."
