A week following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, students on the Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE’s) Commissioner’s Student Advisory Council (SAC) discussed some policy suggestions for school safety at their May 31st meeting.
We are deeply saddened by the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24 and the recent events in Buffalo, N.Y., Santa Ana, Calif., and so many other places across the country. There is no place for such hatred and senseless violence.
The Department of Homeland Security has produced “K-12 School Security: A Guide for Preventing and Protecting against Gun Violence,” which provides preventive and protective measures to address the threat of gun violence in schools.
