q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Interviews with 7 school board members and 8 district administrators in TSD and 3 district administrators in RSD, plus board meeting transcripts in RSD. The report attributes retained security to leaders' "filtering of student and community voices through their own perspectives." Qualitative interview finding; no effect size.
"Findings suggest this choice was, in part, due to district leaders’ filtering of student and community voices through their own perspectives — including the belief that physical security measures are necessary for school safety."
