The good news is that Ms. DeVos, the Secretary of Education, has convened the School Safety Commission on a number of occasions this summer. There have been many witnesses to the four person commission including the Attorney General. There have been a wide range of opinions and thoughts regarding school safety put forth.
I'll get into more of these in the next day or two. At least two things seem clear from my examination of the reports that come out of the meetings; first, there seems to be a growing consensus that a type of 'citadel' - a strong fortress - is being touted. Also, the idea of arming teachers or other personnel has some attraction to the commission.
One thing seems evident to me...there seems to be little chance that the Commission will look at 'gun control' as it pertains to schools and school safety. This is an interesting/confusing juxtaposition in that the Commission might well arm personnel in schools but doesn't want to look at 'gun control.' Seems to me that they ARE dealing with the issue, dealing with it by potentially allowing guns to be out of control!
