Lincoln Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Steve Joel told our television partner, 10/11 NEWS, if someone really wants to get into a school, or any public place, it's going to be very, very difficult to stop them. Parents say TRY ANYWAY, but Casady says better than uniforms in classrooms, threat assessment is the key.
