Many of these threats are related to the mental health of educators and students.<\/p>\n<p>From 2018 to 2021, both before and during the pandemic,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=PxxQrU0AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao\">I<\/a>\u00a0spent time studying a public middle school in the San Francisco Bay Area that serves a high-poverty community of color. The research involved spending more than 100 hours of observing classes and teacher and staff meetings. It also involved a series of interviews with 10 teachers and the principal.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five of the biggest threats that I identified through my observations.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Trauma among students<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Students often spoke and wrote about traumatic experiences. This included losing parents to murder, imprisonment or deportation.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers and staff told me they were not prepared to handle students\u2019\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s12310-016-9175-2\">emotional reactions to these traumatic experiences<\/a>\u00a0and how the experiences\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/2022\/1\/24\/22899360\/chicago-principal-our-schools-are-not-ok-mental-health-pandemic-seth-lavin-op-ed\">affected student learning<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Extensive research shows that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s12310-016-9175-2\">trauma can result in poor academic performance and more anxiety or aggression<\/a>\u00a0that can interfere with learning.<\/p>\n<p>Racial minority and low-income students tend to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epi.org\/publication\/toxic-stress-and-childrens-outcomes-african-american-children-growing-up-poor-are-at-greater-risk-of-disrupted-physiological-functioning-and-depressed-academic-achievement\/\">experience significantly more trauma<\/a>\u00a0than white students and students from higher-income families.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1037\/tra0000861\">created more trauma<\/a>\u00a0for more students,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1073\/pnas.2007476117\">especially for low-income students of color<\/a>, as disruption to the normal way of life and to the economy created high stress on families. Perversely, school\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s12310-022-09512-7\">closures during the pandemic also made it more difficult<\/a>\u00a0for students experiencing trauma to receive mental health care and treatment often provided by schools.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Worse well-being for teachers and students<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Staff in the school I studied described their middle schoolers as increasingly \u201cshut down,\u201d \u201cfragile,\u201d \u201cbeaten down\u201d and \u201chopeless\u201d with every passing year.<\/p>\n<p>Teachers also talked about their own struggles with \u201cthe stress of this place\u201d and \u201cnegative emotions\u201d from their daily challenges to support their students. During the pandemic, teachers described increasing \u201cexhaustion\u201d from the level of effort needed to keep students in school and engaged in learning.<\/p>\n<p>Since the onset of the pandemic, lower overall well-being of students and teachers has become a nationwide concern. In the 2020-2021 school year,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7249\/RRA168-4\">80% of teachers nationwide reported feelings of burnout<\/a>. In the 2021-2022 school year, nearly half of students across the U.S. in grades 9 through 12 reported\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.15585\/mmwr.su7103a3\">persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness<\/a>. Across the nation, district leaders in the 2021-2022 school year reported a general decline in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rand.org\/pubs\/research_reports\/RRA956-8.html\">mental health and well-being<\/a>\u00a0of all students and educators as their most pressing concern.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Staff shortages and turnover<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chalkbeat.org\/2021\/9\/23\/22689774\/teacher-vacancies-shortages-covid\">other schools around the nation<\/a>, the school I studied was persistently short of teachers because of staff who quit due to stress or who were fired for unprofessional behavior. It was often difficult to find qualified teachers to fill open positions.<\/p>\n<p>During the pandemic,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.7249\/RRA168-4\">one-quarter of teachers reported that they were likely to leave<\/a>\u00a0the profession. In early 2022, the share of teachers who reported being\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/research-center\/reports\/teaching-profession-in-crisis-national-teacher-survey\">\u201cvery satisfied\u201d with their jobs dropped to an all-time low at 12%<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Amid the staffing shortages, news reports from around the country tell of teachers having to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2022-04-20\/lausd-teacher-shortage-proposal\">teach two classes at once<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/leadership\/how-staff-shortages-are-crushing-schools\/2021\/10\">sacrifice preparation time<\/a>\u00a0and bring in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/education\/2022\/01\/13\/schools-parents-substitutes-omicron-shortage\/\">parents<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/11\/us\/teacher-shortages-parents-substitutes\/index.html\">highly paid district administrators<\/a>\u00a0to cover classrooms.<\/p>\n<p>Increasingly,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news4jax.com\/news\/local\/2022\/05\/02\/duval-county-teachers-predict-very-very-bad-situation\/\">mounting stress<\/a>\u00a0means\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/leadership\/teachers-are-quitting-midyear-its-leaving-some-schools-in-the-lurch\/2022\/03\">teachers quit<\/a>\u00a0midyear or even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/leadership\/how-staff-shortages-are-crushing-schools\/2021\/10\">in the middle of a school day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Threat of closure<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>At the school I studied, the principal described extensive time and effort that she and others spent to encourage students to enroll there. \u201cIt is disheartening,\u201d the principal said, that sometimes parents chose other schools due to a negative reputation that became associated with a school serving the area\u2019s poorest Black and Latino communities. Any declines in enrollment threatened the loss of teaching positions. Persistent declines meant the threat of being closed altogether.<\/p>\n<p>Nationwide, threats of school closure have risen in response to widespread\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nces.ed.gov\/whatsnew\/press_releases\/06_28_2021.asp\">drops in annual enrollment in noncharter public schools<\/a>, especially in districts serving low-income communities of color.<\/p>\n<p>School boards in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.baltimoresun.com\/education\/bs-md-school-board-vote-school-closure-20220126-tixq2fuicrhpdb7txzjvsf4tau-story.html\">Baltimore<\/a>\u00a0and the California cities of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6146541\/oakland-schools-closing-enrollment\/\">Oakland<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktvu.com\/news\/hayward-unified-votes-to-close-fewer-schools-than-anticipated\">Hayward<\/a>\u00a0have recently decided to close multiple schools in the 2022-2023 school year due to declining enrollment.

Threats from the community<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There are also violent threats at schools unrelated to mass shootings. During my study, teachers and principals reported distressing incidents of threats from members of the community, including verbal threats from parents and neighbors and an incident of the principal being held at knifepoint.<\/p>\n<p>From March 2020 to June 2021, one-third of teachers reported\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/education-career\/k12\/violence-educators.pdf\">at least one incident of verbal or threatening violence from students<\/a>, and over 40% of school administrators have reported\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/education-career\/k12\/violence-educators.pdf\">verbal or threatening violence from parents<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reports of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/northpennnow.com\/police-called-after-tempers-flare-over-mask-policy-at-north-penn-school-boa-p4539-117.htm\">violent conflicts over masking<\/a>\u00a0at school board meetings,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eanesisd.net\/post\/~board\/news\/post\/creating-an-oasis-for-our-students?fbclid=IwAR3Qs94_E6Ck7GN7Qrp-6ylUrTutr8pQAScQ2Am26cl6Lb8Z0140MSDAvfg\">parents ripping masks off teachers\u2019 faces<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/parent-attacks-teacher-after-mask-dispute-first-day-school-california-n1276736\">physical fights between parents and teachers<\/a>\u00a0have emerged alongside reports of intensified hostility from resurgent culture wars, including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/usa-education-threats\/\">death threats<\/a>\u00a0against school board members and their families.<\/p>\n<p>In a February 2022 investigation, Reuters documented\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/investigates\/special-report\/usa-education-threats\/\">220 incidents of violent intimidation<\/a>\u00a0of school officials across 15 states.<\/p>\n<p>K-12 educators and students are facing many simultaneous threats in addition to school shootings.
