Federal aid applications from the Broward County and Sante Fe school districts paint the most detailed picture of what really happens to a school after a mass shooting
Substance abuse and mental health problems surged following last year’s deadly mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., while test scores tanked.In Santa Fe, Texas, where eight students and two teachers were killed in May of last year, it’s a similar story, according to documents obtained by POLITICO.
Santa Fe High School officials said that by the end of the school year that followed the shooting, approximately 60 percent of all students had visited with a counselor experienced in trauma, and the counselors provided more than 3,400 hours of support. In Parkland, since the shooting, requests for added support related to mental, physical and behavioral problems rose by 78 percent.
Threats and intimidation grew to 368 incidents compared to 337 the previous year and tobacco offenses to 439 from 127. “We are looking for much-needed outside funding sources to assist in the physical and emotional recovery effort, as well as, planning for future violence prevention and mental/emotional health training and support,” the Santa Fe Independent School District’s 2019/2020 request states.
