Why Victims' Families Are Seething Over Broward Schools' Handling of the Parkland Shooting
Broward County, Fla.
In early June, Andrew Pollack returned to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, furious.
On Valentine’s Day, his daughter, 18-year-old Meadow Pollack, had been murdered inside the school, victim to a shooting rampage that left 17 dead and 17 wounded.
During the months that followed, Pollack’s grief had merged with a combustible anger. Much of it was directed at the Broward County Public Schools. Like other victims’ family members, Pollack had come to believe that mistakes by the nation’s sixth-largest school district had helped make the shooting possible. He had also grown frustrated by what he viewed as a lack of urgency and empathy from Superintendent Robert Runcie.
