Around the U.S., private schools generally do not face as many requirements as public schools for developing security plans.
In Tennessee, laws requiring schools to develop and submit safety plans do not apply to private schools, an emailed statement from the state Department of Education said.
"I would imagine after this horrific situation in Nashville that there may be more attempts by private schools to try to not only bolster security but to get school resource officers.", experts say private schools have invested similarly to public schools in violence prevention. Security protocols for private schools are similar to those for public schools, but they are more tailored to each school’s location and circumstances, said Myra McGovern of the National Association of Independent Schools.
The quality of safety plans for private schools also varies widely, as it does for public schools, Dorn said.Nashville school shooting: Officers who took out suspected Covenant shooter identified Private or not, shootings are more common at middle and high schools than at elementary schools like Covenant, which are less likely to have assigned security officers.
