Our Children's Lives Matter! Make Their Absences EXCUSED!

Dumbass school system. The whole county is wack.

I didn't want to get shot.

If there was at any threat towards the school by mouth or social media, the school shouldn't hold it against Any Students their lives matter more and you think that Baldwin County should as well!! Cops or no Cops they shouldn't been at school!! Baldwin County School System You should be ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF!!!!

It's absolutely ridiculous there is even a debate about this-the absences should be excused. I'd rather my child be absent from one day of school and nothing happen than to risk even the smallest chance of the threat of violence to be legitimate.

This is utterly ridiculous ..we kept our children home for their safety ....hoax or not ....it's ALWAYS better to be safe than sorry ,nnn the day should be EXCUSED ...by all means !!! Shouldn't even be questioned !!! What's wrong with these people ???

My boys went to a high school in Michigan where guns, violent threats and bomb threats happened several times during the year. Not once was there ever an instance where excusing an absence would have been questioned. Parents protect their children and it is the schools job to back them up.

They should be excused.

I have a niece and nephew that go to Robertsdale high school. To me, their safety is as important as my own child. Any parent agrees that safety is far more important than a truancy mark. Please show these parents that they did no wrong. They did what was best.

I believe that Children should not be counted absent on a day they didn't go to school if there life was in danger no

I shall not say anything more than what most have said already!! My child's life is more important than any attendance policy! I also want to suggest that those from the middle school be excused as well!! CBMS also had officers patrolling the halls and the parking lot causing many of these kids to be frightened!! "No immediate threat"??? Let's wait until it actually does happen and see how administration feels then!!!!

Threats can be real or not. It is better to be safe than sorry... in this day and age, one never knows what, when, where, if something will happen. I am glad nothing transpired today. How does one know if it is safe or not since we have seen things come to pass? I say it is better to excuse this absence than not. Safety is best for all people in our school.

Robertsdale police department specifically stated parents make the best judgement call for your child! That was to keep my child home for complete safety!

If the police dept said early on that it was not a credible threat, then why did they opt to bring in metal detection devices and why did they set up a single Point-of-entry and point-of-exit for all staff/faculty/students/authorities to use today? Why would they go to these lengths if there was no threat? Also, if the school tells me to use my descretion as whether to send my kids to school or not, you can not punish my child for my decision, and marking them absent IS a punishment for my child.

Shows that the school doesn't care about us. Great school right? Go bears (even though we suck).

Our Children's lives matter!!!!!

Child having a class in a portable was the deal breaker for me....

My son is Huston reddick , 11th grade

This is ridiculous that the kids are marked absent because their parents felt it was safer for them to be at home instead of chancing the possible danger that could have happened. If the school board cares as much for the students as they say they do then this wouldn't be an issue!

Ridiculous attitude about the safety of people's children.Definitely should be excused absence!

It would have been totally absurd to send the children to school with a threat going on. Their absences should be excused. Their lives matter.
