BANGOR, Maine — It's back to the classroom this week for many students across Maine, and with recent events like the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas this past May, which left 19 students and two teachers dead, school safety is weighing heavy on many minds. 'I probably think about it way more often than probably most,' Bangor Superintendent of Schools James Tager said about the safety of his students and staff. Before coming to Maine, Tager worked as an educator in Florida. He was in the state when a 19-year-old opened fire on students and staff at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.
