The Alex Schachter Foundation

The Alex Schachter Foundation In memory of Alex Schachter. Alex Schachter, 14, resided in Parkland, Florida for the last eight years. Alex Schachter was a sweet and loving boy.

Alex was tragically killed during the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018. Alex was one of the first students to be killed when the shooter unlawfully entered the Freshman building armed with an AR-15 that he aimed through a window outside of his classroom, preying on the defenseless and senselessly taking Alex and his classmates away from their family and fr

iends forever. As a freshman, Alex loved the marching band and played the trombone and baritone as part of the Eagle Regiment Marching band - the top marching band in the state of Florida! He is survived by his heartbroken parents , three siblings, grandparents and countless cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. In an effort to protect our children and our teachers, this fund has been created in order to raise funds to support a nationwide school safety commission spearheaded by Alex’s father Max Schachter. The goal of this safety commission will be to bring together the leaders and experts in our nation who are at the forefront of keeping students, teachers and administrators safe in their schools. Additionally, the Schachter family will be using the Alex Schachter Scholarship fund Foundation 501(c)(3), created in Alex's memory, to support increased safety measures and building enhancements that can be implemented to make schools safer across our nation. Please help keep Alex’s spirit alive by keeping future generations of children safe at school. This page has been set up by the family of Alex Schachter in Parkland, Florida. In addition to launching a safe school initiative, a portion of funds raised will be used to help students experience the joys of music and foster the importance of music education. Thank you all for your support and generosity.

After 2 teachers and 2 students were murdered in the Appalachian high school shooting Georgia is now focused on putting SROs and panic buttons in every school.

"Before we think about ABCs and 123s — safety has to be first and foremost," he told 11Alive.

I couldn't save Alex after he was shot during the Parkland school shooting but I believe schools are safer every time I detail the failures, lessons learned, and best practices Florida has implemented since we experienced the deadliest high school shooting in US history. I will never stop telling Alex’s story. “Life Is Like A Roller Coaster”

Highlights from the upsetting new Washington Post article on the Georgia shooter and his HORRIBLE home life (parents are drug addicts and child abusers).

Mother fluffed off her son’s obsession with mass murderers:

“Around that time, Marcee (his mother) said, C**t immersed himself in a new interest: school shooters. He learned their names, how many people they killed, what their childhoods were like. Marcee said she didn’t think much of it, comparing her interest in true-crime stories to her son’s infatuation with young men who shot children dead in the places they went to learn.

Missed opportunities by the sheriffs office:

The FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation traced the email address behind the Discord account to C**t and notified the sheriff’s office the next day, leading to the front porch interview. Miller (the deputy) conducted the interview without having seen the most critical evidence — screenshots of the Discord chat and those photos of the guns. He would later note in his report that the evidence was in an email attachment that he couldn’t figure out how to open on his phone while at the house. C**t promised he didn’t write the threats, and Miller suggested that was good enough for him. “I gotta take you at your word,” he said. In a follow-up call two days later, Miller told Colin (father) the FBI tip had left him baffled, according to a recording, and that he had no “reasonable suspicions about C**t.” Then he closed the case, without having asked to compare the images posted online with Colin’s guns or to see inside the home. The carpet, wall color and trim in the photos shared by the Discord user appear consistent with images from online real estate listings that show the interior of the house C**t lived in at the time, according to a Post review.

Shooter - “Do you really think that my mom would kill me?” he would often ask.

School districts dropped the ball. Grandmother thought the school would help him since his loser parents and state child protective services did not.

Interviews with family members and a review of private texts and public documents open a window on a 14-year-old’s path to alleged gunman at Apalachee High School.

In response to questions I have received about what President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have done concerning mental health in schools:

On June 25, 2022 POTUS signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act It provided $1 billion in funding for mental health supports in K-12 schools. January 2024 U.S. Department of Education released its latest installment of BSCA funding ($285 million) to support efforts to hire and train 14,000 mental health professionals in schools over 5 years.

Yesterday at the The White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention 1 year anniversary ceremony President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris announced the first Executive Order on ACTIVE SHOOTER DRILLS. This guidance is needed! During the Parkland school shooting kids were shot and killed because they were not given proper AS training. Also, we don’t light fires in schools to teach fire drills but we have some agencies using simunition rounds during drills which are unnecessarily traumatizing children and staff. I look forward to seeing the research and report in 110 days so every school district can be implementing the safest and most effective drill procedures. Thank you Secretary Miguel Cardona, Gregory Jackson Jr., Rob Wilcox for all your work addressing this important issue.

In a single afternoon last week, schools in Tennessee, South Carolina, Minnesota, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Arkansas, Texas, Michigan and Maryland all received threats. received 54 tips about potential threats in a single night this month. Every threats cost $25k-$40k to investigate.

STRATEGIES TO REDUCE SCHOOL SHOOTING THREATS:
1. Hold kids and their parents accountable with mandatory financial penalties. You can’t joke about having a bomb on a plane - same for schools.
2. Teach kids and parents to report don’t repost! If they do THEY become the posters!
3. Do better job educating kids on importance of reporting concerning behavior

Education facilities received 1,123 bomb threats last year — the most of any institution, per the U.S. Bomb Data Center.

“He has been having homicidal and suicidal thoughts, he shouldn’t have a gun, and he should’ve been in THERAPY months ago,” Brown wrote. She wrote that she had previously tried to get him into therapy without success.

The mother of the suspected Apalachee High School gunman said that she called the school on the morning of the shooting and warned a counselor about an “extreme emergency.”
