If you told Missy Dodds years ago that she would be working as a school safety advocate, she probably wouldn’t believe you. However, life alway s has its twists and turns.
Missy got her start in teaching at Red Lake High School in 2002. On March 21, 2005, her life took the biggest turn: gunfire erupted in the school. Missy had locked her classroom door moments before, but the gunman entered by shooting the tempered glass view panel next to the door.
Missy Dodds, parent ambassador for Safe and Sound Schools, joined Paul Timm in this episode of The Changing Face of School Security to discuss:
- Her recovery journey as a school shooting survivor
- Changes in access control and relationships with law enforcement
- The importance of community involvement in school safety
