On Wednesday, Vermont Edition reviewed what happened last week with individuals from Essex High School and the Essex Police Department, and talked about school safety with Gary Margolis – a former UVM police chief and the CEO of Social Sentinel, a software company that helps schools identify threats made on social media.
