What Parkland's Timeline Teaches About Campus Response
The Sun Sentinel's interactive reconstruction walks through the 2018 Parkland shooting as it unfolded. We point districts to it because it makes the core premise of campus response concrete: when seconds decide outcomes, a trained, screened staff member already on site changes the timeline in a way even a fast outside response cannot. That is the whole reason selection, judgment, and documented proficiency — not bravado — sit at the center of how GSFT trains. This is the Sun Sentinel's journalism; GSFT has no affiliation with it and reproduces none of it here.
