A retired teacher who was wounded at Granite Hills High School reflects on what happened 21 years ago, and what is still happening now.
“One young man had almost his whole body covered with it. I rode with him in the ambulance that took us to Scripps, so yeah, it was quite something," she said.
Zumwalt said the school had been in the process of reviewing its safety protocols given the shooting at Santana High school just a little more than two weeks earlier where 15 students were shot, two fatally.List: California’s Deadliest School Shootings“The weapons we faced are far different than today,” said Zumwalt referring to the use of assault weapons.
Today, schools also face other challenges, like the pandemic. Zumwalt worries about the teaching profession. “I do worry about that. I know COVID-19 has had an effect on teachers and there’s a shortage of teachers now…We need teachers.” She says statistics show schools are still safe, and there are challenges everywhere.“It can’t stop you from doing the great work you do…It shouldn’t stop you from doing a noble profession that is so critical to the success of the community."
