The principal of Lake Mary High School met with parents Monday night to talk about school safety in the wake of the Parkland school shooting.

Less than a week after the school shooting in Parkland, less than a fifth of Lake Mary High School students showed up to school on a day mentioned in a threat of violence scribbled in a school bathroom.

On Monday night, the school’s principal Dr. Mickey Reynolds discussed increased safety measures, like installing electronic locks, limiting access to the school, and more efforts to identify students who might want to harm others.

One parent said he’s confident school administrators and law enforcement will keep his daughter safe.

“I had no doubt that if anything was going to happen, they’re going to be on the ball,” said Mark Shellhammer.

Shellhammer’s daughter went to school on the day mentioned in the threat.

“It was a little bit frightening, but I knew it was all going to be okay,” said Markie Shellhammer, a freshman at Lake Mary High School.

Seminole County school administrators told parents at Monday night’s meeting that the gun violence prevention bill signed by Gov. Rick Scott could provide funding to the school district, which could ultimately speed up projects already in place aimed at increasing safety at county schools.

One of those projects will increase live surveillance cameras throughout school buildings.

The Seminole County Public School district is holding a safety town hall for parents of all of the county’s public schools on Thursday, March 29 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Winter Springs High School.
