Early childhood educators in Louisiana are receiving active shooter training this week. Institute for Childhood Preparedness Director Andrew Roszak says this age group, of zero to five, is often overlooked and they offer specialized instructions on how to respond and even prevent an active shooter.

Cut 3 (09) “…response plans.” 

The organization is conducting 11 training sessions in Louisiana this week blanketing the state from Shreveport to New Orleans in partnership with the Louisiana Department of Education. Roszak says they’ve received positive feedback from individuals who’ve completed the training.

Cut 4 (11)  “…our community.” 

Last year there were 647 mass shootings in the U.S. and there have already been 79 this year alone.

Participants are able to practice the techniques they’ve learned in a controlled environment and receive feedback from professional instructors. Roszak says it’s very important for early childhood educators to be prepared for the worst to protect such a vulnerable age group.

Cut 5 (11) “…the fly.”

You learn more about the organization at childhoodpreparedness.org and also register for classes, Roszak says they have a few open slots left.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell publicly addressed the recall effort to remove her from office during a press conference today. Governor John Bel Edwards’ office determined there was an insufficient number of signatures submitted by NOLATOYA to force a recall election. Cantrell says she is grateful to the community that supported her through this and this speedbump is now in the rearview mirror.

Cut 6 (07)  “…New Orleans.” 

More than 67,000 signatures were submitted but only 27,243 of the signatures were deemed valid; far below the 45-thousand needed. Cantrell is optimistic that the city will be able to move forward and refocus.

Cut 7 (06)  “…serve everyone.” 

Cantrell is the first Black woman to be elected mayor but her popularity has dwindled since crime escalated. Cantrell says she will continue her leadership as Mayor and will work collectively with everyone to build a better city.

Cut 8 (11)  “…who did NOT” 

NOLATOYA organizers plan to challenge the recall results.

College basketball player Antoine Davis says he feels cheated for not having an opportunity to break Pete Maravich’s NCAA scoring record.

Cut 12 (11) “…the 80s” 

Many felt it was right to exclude Detroit-Mercy from the C-B-I, because they had a losing record at 14-19. Jaeson Maravich says it blows his mind that Davis would say he’s upset that he was not given one more game to break the record…
