Several marked and unmarked police cars were parked at the school as teachers arrived. One woman carried flowers into the building. "There are concerns, of course," she said. "We talked through it. His therapist gave me a thumbs-up and said he's good,." Days after the shooting, the school board announced that walk-through metal detectors would be placed in every school in the district. At Richneck, two metal detection systems have been installed and two security officers have been assigned to the school, said Michelle Price, a spokesperson for the school district. Before the shooting, one security officer was assigned to Richneck and another elementary school. The officer was not at Richneck at the time of the shooting.
Karen Lynch, who has worked as a principal in Newport News for 17 years, said in a letter to Richneck families last week that she is now working "on special assignment" at Richneck. Lynch said emotional support services that have been provided to students, families and staff by support specialists, social workers and licensed therapists will continue after the school reopens.
