Silver Rail Set to Reopen After Deadly Shooting

Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon, is reopening about four weeks after an Oct. 15 shooting that killed four people and injured two. Students return Nov. 12 for an early-release day, with a full day to follow Friday; the school has installed a barrier blocking access to the affected classroom, repaired or replaced damaged doors, and moved special-needs classes elsewhere. The district is adding a dedicated school resource officer, extra staff and mental-health support, while families and students face a mix of anticipation and concern about safety and recovery. District leaders say longer-term security upgrades may depend on future bond or levy funding, and families will have a role in deciding what happens to the affected classroom.
