Friday, September 27th 2013We just dropped our kid at Endeavor and We noticed that not "extra" security was add it and looks like another day, just like the day before. Also around 9 a.m. after all the students are in the classroom We noticed a security car from the Orange County Public School coming to the school and wondering what is he doing in there?
Extra security should be before school start, that's what I think. Or do we have to wait until someone does get hurt to take it seriously? Maybe I could be wrong

ORLANDO, FL —An Orange County elementary school student was found with weapons Thursday, September 26th 2013, according to officials. The Endeavor Elementary School student apparently brought several weapons in a backpack and told friends about them.
“This morning before school began, a student told three other students that he had weapons in his backpack. The three students immediately reported this to our School Resource Officer,” Principal Sharon Jenkins said in a statement to parents. Deputies said the weapons included an unloaded handgun, a magazine with six bullets, a kitchen steak knife and a small-handled sledge hammer.
Some parents said they weren't happy with how school officials handled the situation. They said they didn't get an automated alert until 1:39 p.m. even though the incident happened about 8:30 a.m. "I go pick him up at 3 (p.m.). There is one police car, and no one is around the police car. You have a serious incident that happened earlier in the day. There should be police presence at this school," parent Tina Presslar said to WESH News.
No one at the school was hurt. Law enforcement officers are investigating.
