Nevada releases school safety report
By Meghin Delaney, Las Vegas Review-Journal
Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt released a wide-ranging set of recommendations on school safety, but there’s no clear idea of what the measures may cost or who would foot the bill.
The report stems from a school safety summit Laxalt held in March with education and safety officials after a Feb. 14 shooting at a school in Parkland, Fla., reignited the national conversation on school safety nationwide. During that summit, he stressed prioritizing the physical safety and “hardening” of schools to make it more difficult for an assailant to enter campus.
The seven major themes of the report including increasing police presence, adding new safety features, improving communication between schools and law enforcement officials and enacting “red flag” laws to evaluate potential threats with a nexus to mental illness or domestic violence.
