Have any other parents in Howard County received the emails about this?

Is there any comment we can add to this discussion that might be helpful for our rights? I haven't formulated anything that I've been completely satisfied with yet and wanted to see if anyone else had done any better.

Dear Parents and Community Members,
In the wake of last week’s tragedy in Newtown, CT, this week was particularly challenging for communities across the country. Many members of our community have contacted the school system to share concerns and offer support.
This week, we established a Joint Task Force on School Safety in collaboration with the county government. The task force is chaired by Chief of Police William McMahon, HCPSS Executive Director of School Improvement and Administration William Ryan, and HCPSS Acting Chief of Operations and Finance Ken Roey. Members include representatives from county government, public safety, public health, the school system, parents and students. The task force will focus on three areas:
1) Physical security and security protocols in schools
2) Emergency response planning
3) Prevention
Please consider participating in the Community Forum that will be held by the newly established task force. At this forum, the task force will share its mission and solicit feedback on school safety. Please register in advance to attend. If unable to attend, input may also be provided through the registration form.
Community Forum - Location, Date & Time:
Wilde Lake High School Cafeteria
5460 Trumpeter Road
Columbia, MD

7-9 p.m.
I wish each and every one of you a joyous and rejuvenating holiday season. And I thank you for being a part of what makes this school system so great.
Sincerely,
Renee A. Foose, Ed.D.
Superintendent
