A traumatic event like that of this morning affects the entire community, especially the families and friends of the victims. This can be an emotional time, and it's important for people affected by this tragedy to connect with and support each other.

National PTA believes the protection of children in all school settings is a fundamental right and has made this the utmost priority for our work and advocacy.
