As a parent, this is both frightening and infuriating. To think that someone could be so malicious as to set fire to an elementary school—a place where our children should feel safest—is unacceptable. This is not just about one school or one group of families. This is about the safety and security of every child in our community. Outside of their homes, schools should be sanctuaries where children are supported, nurtured, and protected by educators and staff.
