I am a parent of students at Denali Montessori Elementary. Today was a very stressful day as news of the shooting in the parking lot came out.
I would like to take this moment to thank Anchorage voters, who passed a school bond just a few years ago that funded door security in elementary schools throughout the district. Those locking doors were used this morning at the school, and I know that hundreds of Anchorage parents are grateful for them tonight. Thank you!
