a mobile app has a lot more functionality and can prevent false alarms that are common with panic buttons on a lanyard.

Amy Grosso

Everyone carriers a cell phone with them everywhere. They find it more important to have than any other object (even a school ID). By utilizing a cell phone for a panic alert system for staff, the entire building is safer.

Chris Noell

Cell phones are like wallets - everyone remembers to bring them so they are at hand during an emergency.

I put more faith in people, not an app, for a child's safety. Cell phones should be banned in school. I might compromise if cell phones where locked in a locker (muted) and/or a zero tolerance policy for cell phones in the classroom. In-between classes, lunch, etc is OK.

It would be nice to have Snow like we did when I was a kid back in the 80' we had heavy snows and maybe it would help against the sickness we all are having. It's been a long time since we had a heavy snow or bad winter but it would do the ground some good!!!

Ann Hamlin

Snow is pretty.

Max DeYoung

A good, heavy snow will cut down on drive by shootings. Columbia needs that.

The report should go where Hilary's emails are.

Max DeYoung

The Ethics report was a failed frame job, and it proves his innocence.

Max DeYoung

It also exposes a lot of dishonest Representatives. Most of the House wants to keep this secret.

Robert Walter

His behavior and character matters.
