Sandy Hook Victim's Mother Helping Make Sudbury Schools Safer

The Boston Globe reported on Michele Gay's efforts since she moved to Sudbury after her daughter, Justine, was shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary.

A Friday Boston Globe article highlighted the efforts of Michele Gay, who has worked diligently to make sure Sudbury Public Schools are as safe as possible after she moved to town just weeks after her seven-year-old daughter was killed during the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

Josephine Gay was shot and killed by 20-year-old Adam Lanza, in December 2012. The shooting was just several weeks before the Gay family was moving to Sudbury.

According to the Boston Globe feature story, the family moved to Sudbury as planned. Since doing so, Michele has made it her mission to help improve the safety of her children's new school district.

Michele has worked closely with town and school officials since moving to Sudbury. 

Thanks to a donation of about $20,000 worth of equipment by Ohio company NaviGate Prepared, Sudbury Public Schools will have top-notch equipment including live video feeds from six Sudbury schools to the police department, interactive floor plans of each school, and virtual views of every classroom, utility closet, and hallway, the Boston Globe reported.
