an assistant principal warned him not to use 911 because it could be monitored by media outlets and attract public attention.
How does the media monitor 911 calls?
It’s more that those tapes are public information, and once it’s found out you called 911 the media gets the tapes. There’s no real-time monitoring, but as fast as the news works these days it might as well be.
I always thought that reporting a crime meant talking to law enforcement. How is it the principal thought that telling somebody else in the school system was reporting a crime? This baffles me.
