It is January 2013, a time when across the country and right here in Kane County, we are acutely aware that our children’s safety at school must not be taken for granted.

No potential threats to students’ well-being can be shrugged off, and schools need to take the strongest measures possible to ensure student safety.

In that context, we commend the proactive, aggressive security measures taken by Geneva School District 304 regarding the recent incident of a parent verbally lashing out in anger in front of kindergarten students at Mill Creek Elementary School.
