As I've been meeting directly with students, teachers, parents, law enforcement officials, gun owners & others back home in places like St. Joe, Portage, Kalamazoo, Gull Lake, Niles, Hartford and elsewhere it's clear school safety is at the forefront for many folks.
When we send our kids off to school, we expect them to arrive back home safely.
In March, Congress passed & the president later signed into law, the STOP School Violence Act of 2018 & the Securing Our Schools Act of 2018. These bipartisan pieces of legislation address flaws in the system that fail to prevent violence in school.
Importantly, the leg. will provide an historic investment in school safety plans including prevention training for teachers & administrators, the formation of crisis intervention teams with mental health professionals, & better coordination between schools & law enforcement.
We won’t completely solve the problem of school violence overnight, but we're off to a good start. As we look ahead, there are plenty of additional areas we can find agreement to further improve school safety & curb gun violence but it will take commitment, courage, & consensus.
Our bipartisan work continues. Learn more here: https://upton.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=399005 … #MI06
When WE send OUR kids to school WE expect them to be well funded and OUR teachers to get competitive pay.
