HARRISONBURG, Va. (ROCKTOWN NOW) – As the investigation continues into this week’s school shooting in Georgia, local school officials continue to do their part in making schools as safe as possible.

Harrisonburg City School superintendent Dr. Michael Richards told host Jim Britt on Early Mornings Thursday that he focuses on what he has control over.

“By focus on things like hardening the perimeters, which we’ve done with weapons detection systems, I look at the innermost circle,” Richards said. “How do we support and wrap ourselves around the student needs as they arise so that we don’t have kids who fall through the cracks? We don’t have severe bullying, but we have ways of addressing those things.”

Richards added that the school division recently partnered with the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation and parents will soon receive information on the See Something, Say Something formal system.
