Since the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida in February, the conversation about how to keep kids safe in schools has persisted.
Some argue that more guns in schools will make them safer – like arming teachers. But the plan presented steers away from a conversation on firearms.
Instead, it’s focused on hiring more school safety officers and mental health professionals in schools.
Mark Reene is a former president for the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan.
“There’s been enough talking. Our kids’ lives are on the line. It’s time for a change.”
Reene says there’s nothing in the proposal that is controversial. He calls them, “common sense, bipartisan solutions to a very real crisis.”
