A measure proposing a comprehensive safety and security plan for Wyoming’s schools is awaiting its first debate in front of the full House.
SF 64 would require the state’s schools and superintendent of public instruction go prepare safety and security guidelines for schools, along with staff training and drills to prepare for attacks by intruders.
Schools would also have to develop strategies for identifying students who could potentially engage in violent behavior and craft a system to alert officials when an attack on a school occurs.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Jillian Balow said it is important to consider the issue of school safety comprehensively.
“When we really look at school safety and security comprehensively, we need to consider and act on the well being of every single student to make our schools safe,” she said.
