It would seem to me that North Eugene ­Principal Casandra Kamens must be completely incompetent, for her to have said: “For those coming in after the lockdown was in place, we directed them to find a safe place ­outside of the school and didn’t allow them to come inside,” she said. “When we don’t know who the intruder is, or what the exact threat is, we have to take precautions to keep students inside as safe as possible.”

Either the Register Guard has misquoted her, or she is saying that the school does not have any obligation to protect all of its students.  To abandon a child like that and leave the student locked outside and unprotected during an emergency, would seem to be totally reckless and irresponsible behavior.   Has basic common sense left the minds of school administrators?  What if that was done to a child, and that child was then harmed or even killed?  

Surely there must be more to this story than what has been stated in this article.
