According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, LISD officials said Wednesday the district will participate in the Student Safety National Alliance starting in the 2013-14 school year.  \u201cWhat we are offering and introducing to you today is the Walmart for student safety and security,\u201d said interim district Superintendent James Wilcox.  <\/p>\n<p>About 70 school administrators and campus police officers from 25 school districts attended a school safety conference at the district\u2019s education safety center to learn about the alliance.  Profiler Dan Korem, author of \u201cRage of the Random Actor,\u201d told school officials Wednesday, \u201cWe\u2019re here because of what happened at Sandy Hook. If we weren\u2019t having these catastrophic acts, we wouldn\u2019t be here.\u201d  The database will not conflict with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act because the stored information will not be open to the public, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>The school safety alliance is not without its critics, though.  Branden Johnson, president of the local chapter of the NAACP, said although the database could have a positive effect on campus safety, there is a huge drawback to tagging students as troublemakers as early as kindergarten. Johnson added there is nothing stopping a principal from discussing a student\u2019s profile in the system with his or her teacher, something he said will damage the teacher\/student relationship in the classroom.  \u201cThis will adversely affect minority children,\u201d he said. \u201cBut hey, if the school district thinks this will help, OK. We are dealing with elected officials. If people don\u2019t like this, they can vote those trustees right out of office.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONGVIEW &#8212; The Longview school district will join a nationwide group that identifies students who could become violent and tracks them throughout their education \u2014 regardless of where they move.
