This year, the number of school shootings in the United States has dropped tremendously because of the pandemic.According to the Center for Homeland Defense and Security, there has only been one shooting inside a school building since March; an accidental discharge of a firearm inside North Forney High School in Forney, Texas that happened before pandemic shutdowns began.It may be one silver lining in a year many wish to forget.But just because numbers are down, does not mean schools are not still prioritizing active shooter drills.According to Everytown for Gun Safety, a public advocacy group, 95 percent of K-12 schools implement active shooter drills, but the number can vary by state. For instance, in New York State, schools are required to have four lockdown drills per year, whereas in New Jersey the requirement is two.Since the pandemic started, most states have required those same number of drills despite some students choosing to learn from home, in-person restrictions, and social distancing.“We had to redesign the entire drill,” said John McDonald, executive director of security and emergency management at JeffCo Public Schools in Colorado. “We had to redesign what it looked like. How do you socially distance when you’re locking down?”McDonald laid the blueprint for school safety across the country when he was brought in by the JeffCo Public School District to implement new safety measures after the Columbine School Shooting in 1999.In the COVID-19 world, students in his school district are now learning about active shooter drills through a three-minute video presentation he helped design.“We have kids learning [these active shooter lessons] since kindergarten,” said McDonald. “So, this helps supplement that and reinforce that muscle memory.”In the Syracuse School District in New York, however, the drills are a little different than in Colorado.“I think that there’s always a need to balance the safety of the potentially very worst day with the challenges of safety and student well-being that schools face every single day,” said Jaclyn Schildkraut, a criminal justice professor at SUNY-Oswego.Schildkraut helped the Syracuse school district redesign its plans following COVID-19. Instead of the normal drills, where a full class might huddle together out of sight of windows, Schildkraut says students are now broken up into smaller groups of four students to help reduce close exposure to one another during drills.She says those groups also practice the drills on different days to keep things efficient.Schildkraut and McDonald agree that since the pandemic, the drills focus on threat assessment. In day-to-day school functions, COVID-19 is the primary threat to student safety, so social-distancing rules are implemented even during drills. But if an emergency arises, they say that becomes the more imminent threat so that will be treated as the priority, even if it means social distancing cannot be followed.“If we have to go into a lockdown while we’re in school, even in the COVID world, we’re going to go into lockdown because that’s the threat that’s in front of us in that moment in time,” said McDonald. 3167

This undated image released by the Alabama Department of Archives and History shows Alabama's 1901 Constitution, which was intended to maintain white supremacy in the state. With the nation focused on racial justice because of the police killings of George Floyd and other Black people, state voters are being asked to remove racist phrases from the document once and for all. While no organized opposition has emerged, some worry that a conservative backlash against protests over racial injustice could harm the chances for passage.

They've spent weeks trekking across Mexico, trying to reach the United States. But dozens of migrants will be deported and will never touch US soil, Mexican authorities said.About 500 migrants on the Mexican side of the border overwhelmed police blockades near the San Ysidro Port of Entry on Sunday, two journalists in Tijuana said. That forced a temporary closure of the major border crossing into San Diego.Tijuana police said they arrested 39 people Sunday in connection with the attempt to cross the border illegally. Those identified as trying to rush the US border illegally will be processed for deportation in their home countries, Mexico's Interior Ministry said.PHOTOS: Migrants converge at Tijuana-San Diego borderOn the US side, 69 people were arrested entering illegally, US Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan said Monday.US President Donald Trump threatened to close the border "permanently if need be." He also claimed many of the migrants are "stone cold criminals," but gave zero evidence to support that claim."Mexico should move the flag waving Migrants, many of whom are stone cold criminals, back to their countries," Trump tweeted Monday. "Do it by plane, do it by bus, do it anyway you want, but they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be. Congress, fund the WALL! 1361

Trade war fears wiped more than 1,100 points off the Dow in just two days. It was Wall Street's worst week in more than two years.Investors are increasingly worried that President Trump's crackdown on China will trigger a fierce response that darkens the otherwise bright economic outlook.The Dow dropped 425 points, or 1.8%, on Friday, sinking back into a "correction" — a decline of 10% from the all-time high in January. The Dow finished at its lowest point since November.All three major indexes took their biggest weekly tumbles since January 2016.The market failed to stage a rebound from Thursday's plunge, which erased 734 points from the Dow.China vowed on Thursday that it would fight a potential trade war "until the end.""We have this general freak-out. We don't know the next shoe to drop on trade," said Michael Block, chief strategist at Rhino Trading Partners.Investors were further rattled when China's ambassador to the United States signaled that China could ease purchases of US bonds in response to Trump's tariffs. "We are looking at all options," Ambassador Cui Tiankai told Bloomberg News.China is America's biggest creditor, with more than trillion of Treasury bonds."We've been told for our entire careers that trade wars made the Great Depression worse. And we believe it," said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank.Related: Trade fears add to concern of a downturnAsian markets were rocked overnight after China vowed not to back down in a potential trade war with the United States. Japan's Nikkei 225 plummeted 4.5%, and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong lost 2.5%.On Thursday, the market sold off after Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on about billion of Chinese imports to retaliate for theft of intellectual property.China said hours later that it "is not afraid of and will not recoil from a trade war." Officials in China detailed a plan to retaliate to Trump's aluminum and steel tariffs by imposing their own tariffs on about billion worth of imports of US goods.Trump, who often uses the stock market as a barometer for his success, shrugged off the market turmoil."I think the stock market is going to be great," he said Friday at the White House after a reporter asked about the sell-off. "The stock market is way up. When I came into office, the stock market was from a different planet."Despite the recent struggles, the Dow remains up about 30% since Trump's election.Related: China: We would fight a trade war 'to the end'The worry is that a tit-for-tat escalation between the two largest economies in the world will ruin the solid economic backdrop. Investors had been banking on strong growth this year, but a slowdown in trade and dented business and consumer confidence could change that outlook drastically.Barclays warned in a report that a trade war would drown out the benefits of Trump's tax cuts, which helped power Wall Street's euphoric rally."The administration is moving forcefully into the anti-trade portion of its policy agenda," Barclays economist Michael Gapen wrote in a report on Friday.But it's too early to assess the impact. Bullish investors hope that the administration will soften its tough stance with China, similar to how tariffs on steel and aluminum imports were later scaled back significantly."The threat of a misstep remains high," Raymond James Washington policy analyst Ed Mills wrote in a report, but there is an expectation that "these actions will be watered down or mitigated" in the coming weeks.Key Bank's McCain thinks it's more likely the market is going through a correction than entering a bear market. He pointed to robust corporate profits and the strong economy, which enjoyed robust job growth in February."If anything, a few weeks ago we worried about the economy overheating and inflation picking up," McCain said.The-CNN-Wire 3867
