A
Everyone
and
Welcome
to
our
first
meeting
for
the
task
force
on
school
safety
and
campus
security
I
want
to
welcome
everyone
here
today.
July
is
a
very
busy
month
for
so
many
people
and
in
terms
of
conferences
in
terms
of
vacations
and
other
commitments.
So
I
do
want
to
thank
all
the
members
that
were
able
to
make
it
here
today
that
are
going
to
be
a
part
of
this
very
timely
and
also
very
important
task.
Force.
A
I
want
to
appreciate
leadership
of
both
the
house
and
the
senate
for
forming
this
I
appreciate
each
and
every
member.
That's
on
this
for
the
input
that
they'll
be
providing
I
think
we
all
come
from
very
diverse
backgrounds
in
our
professional
lives
and
also
representing
our
districts,
and
so
this
is
a
very
important
task
force
to
be
a
part
of
for
the
first
meeting
today.
A
What
we
will
get
into
is
an
overview
and
also
legislation
since
2019
of
passing
the
school
safety
and
resiliency
Act
of
Senate
bill
one
to
discuss
that
in
detail,
but
not
also
to
bore
you
as
I,
could
tell
my
students
Death
by
PowerPoint
I
will
not
do
that
today,
but
I
wanted
to
also
for
many
of
the
members
that
are
part
of
this
task
force,
as
well
as
those
that
may
be
watching
or
in
the
audience.
Today
we
have
a
lot
of
new
faces
in
the
Kentucky
Legislature
since
2019.
A
some
members
that
were
not
part
of
that
vote.
Some
members
that
do
not
fully
understand
what
all
went
into
that
bill,
and
so
today,
I
will
be
providing
an
overview
of
that
bill,
as
well
as
other
pieces
of
legislation
that
we
have
passed
since
2019
as
it's
related
to
school
safety
in
resiliency.
Before
we
do
get
started
with
our
presentation,
I
would
ask
Mariah
if
she
would
do.
Please
call
the
roll.
C
A
We
do
have
a
quorum
medulla
constituted
to
do
business
today,
for
my
co-chair
Lewis.
Any
comments
that
you
would
like
to
provide
today.
Perfect,
any
other
members
have
any
introductions
they
wish
to
make.
Seeing
none
I
do
want
to
thank
a
couple
of
our
staff
members
for
the
help
of
the
presentation.
Today.
First
is
Mr
John
Ballard
who's
in
the
back
of
the
room
back
there
for
those
that
may
not
know
John
is
the
the
new
education
policy
analyst
serving
in
the
Kentucky
State
Senate.
He
is
our
new
Dr
Joe
Burks.
A
Those
are
big
shoes
to
fill,
but
we're
very
confident
in
in
John's
leadership
that
he's
provided
with
the
Elizabethtown
school
districts
and
his
leadership
even
before
that
and
his
prior
service
to
to
education.
He
was
very
instrumental
today
in
the
PowerPoint
you're
presenting
so
John.
Thank
you
for
your
work
with
that
Rachel
Volk
also
not
a
new
face
if
you're
a
member
of
the
Kentucky
House
of
Representatives,
her
leadership
she's
provided
to
the
Kentucky
house,
but
now
she's
moved
over
to
the
Senate
majority
staff.
Rachel.
A
What
oh
sorry
event:
Perry
a
vet
is
part
of
our
lrc
staff
event
was
part
of
the
staff
with
Senate
bill,
one
in
2019..
She
was
the
bill
drafter.
She
was
the
right
hand
for
those
of
us
that
were
part
of
that
that
task
force
and
working
group
and
a
vet.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership
and
then
also
Mirage
with
us
today
and
we'll
be
providing
assistance
as
well,
so
to
go
forth
with
with
the
the
Senate
bill,
one
the
school
safety
residency
act.
A
You
know
the
focus
of
that
was
coming
after
the
school
shooting
that
took
place
in
Marshall
County,
and
we
made
the
decision,
the
legislative
body,
that
being
the
House
and
Senate
leadership,
that,
during
that
session,
once
that
tragic
event
took
place
that
we
did
not
rush
through
any
type
of
legislation.
We
did
not
do
any
type
of
knee-jerk
reaction.
A
Actually,
we
bought
brought
forth
a
expert
bill,
majeleski
that
spoke
to
us
and
gave
us
some
guidance
as
he'd
worked
with
other
states
across
the
country
when
they
had
horrific
incidents,
and
we
are
not
immune
to
that.
You
know:
we'd
had
events
before
in
Kentucky
State
history,
not
just
the
event
down
in
Marshall
County,
but
but
other
events
as
well,
but
we
took
the
approach
of
let's
spend
the
interim
traveling
across
the
Commonwealth.
A
Let's
take
the
approach
of
listening
and
we
did
that
by
forming
together
that
particular
working
group
that
was
made
up
of
school
Personnel,
various
School
superintendents
principals
guidance,
counselors,
different
positions,
as
well
as
our
law
enforcement,
Community
leaders
that
were
part
of
that.
We
also
had
mental
health
professionals
that
were
a
part
of
that.
It's
a
working
group
legislators
and
a
bipartisan
Manor,
and
then,
lastly,
but
most
importantly,
we
had
students,
you
know
I,
think
it's
most
important.
Also
that
many
times
when
we
work
on
legislation.
A
You
know
we
need
to
listen
to
those
within
the
school
walls,
and
so
we
had
student
representation
also
with
that
for
those
that
weren't
a
partner,
didn't
know
the
history
of
this.
We
traveled
across
the
Commonwealth.
We
had
had
meetings
that
took
place
in
Trigg
County.
We
also
went
to
Northern
Kentucky
University,
we're
at
Barron
County.
We
were
here
in
Frankfort,
we
went
to
Prestonsburg,
we
were
in
all
corners
of
the
state
and
I
wish.
Every
piece
of
legislation
could
take
the
route
that
it
goes
on.
C
A
So
that's
just
a
background
in
a
vet,
if
you
would
start
the
PowerPoint
I'll
kind
of
roll
through
here
we
had
three
real
key
portions
of
Senate
bill,
one
and
that
being
School
Personnel
securing
our
our
school
walls
of
looking
at
Personnel
within
that
of
being
sros
mental
health
professionals,
but
also
the
second
approach
was
systems
and
structures.
You
know
what
did
we
have
in
place?
What
did
we
not
have
in
place?
As
related?
You
know
to
school
safety
and
resiliency
and
the
last
a
culture
of
student
connection.
A
You
know
making
sure
that
you
know
we
had
clubs
organizations
also
the
the
safe
and
well-being
of
students
in
mind
to
make
sure
that
we
had
for
those
students
of
the
ability
and
capability
for
them
to
be
able
to
talk
about
issues
and
that
they
felt
that
sense
of
connection
within
the
school
districts
of
looking
at
the
the
sros
and
I
know
a
lot
of
times
when
we
think
of
school
safety.
The
focus
is
about
school
shootings
and
sros.
We
didn't
just
take
that
approach.
A
We
wanted
to
make
sure
when
we
looked
at
school
safety.
We
looked
at
every
aspect
of
what
do
we
mean
by
the
terminology
of
school
safety,
but
we
did
establish
that
school
districts
would
have
a
school
resource
officer
that
would
be
hired
through
either
a
law
enforcement
agency
or
a
local
school
board.
They
would
assign
each
one
of
these
within
a
school
district
as
funds
and
qualifier
Personnel
would
become
available.
A
It
then
changed
of
the
school
resource
officer
that
we
put
forth
the
changes.
Then
in
2028
of
Senate
Bill
8
that
sros
may
be
assigned
one
per
campus
rather
than
one
per
school.
We
were
seen
with
this
because
many
school
districts
had
maybe
multiple
buildings
within
a
school
district
and
we
changed
the
the
statutory
requirements
of
that
that
it
could
be
one
per
campus.
Some
school
districts
I
think
maybe
Berea
where
K-12
was
all
within
one
building.
A
You
know
we
had
to
clarify
to
make
sure
with
that
aspect
and
some
have
an
elementary
school
at
one
location.
A
middle
school
could
be
many
many
miles
down
the
road,
and
so
we
changed
the
language
in
that
also
the
same
year,
Senate
Bill
eight
established
that
sros
shall
be
armed
with
the
firearm.
You
know
we
we
we
had
to
go
back
and
and
look
at
what
we
did
in
2019,
and
this
is
not
unheard
of.
We
all
know
we
have
legislation.
We
see
that
issues
that
once
a
bill
passes
were
like.
A
We
still
were
not
having
in
2022
every
school
district
on
board
and
following
the
intent
of
the
law
and
so
representative,
bratcher
being
from
Jefferson
County
made
sure
that
that
legislation
was
put
forth
and
it
passed
to
make
sure
that
all
districts
were
complying
with
the
intent
of
the
law
and
in
addition
to
that
also
provide
authorization
outlines
of
means
by
which
a
school
district
can
establish
their
own
Police.
Department
we've
seen
since
2022.
A
Some
school
districts
are
taking
upon
themselves
of
not
having
to
contract
forth
with
a
deputy
sheriff
or
a
city
police
officer,
but
they
are
establishing
their
own
Police.
Department
I
think
Laurel.
County
Schools
were
one
of
the
first
school
districts
in
Kentucky
lucky
to
do
this,
and
we've
seen
many
other
school
districts
follow
up
as
well.
I
know
in
my
home
county
of
Taylor
County,
we
have
our
own
Police
Department
as
I'm
sure
some
other
members
of
this
committee
and
Workforce
have
seen
that
as
well
in
some
districts
of
where
they
are
employing
their
own.
A
Our
state
school
safety,
Marshal
Ben
Wilcox,
was
hired
with
Senate
bill
one,
and
we
will
hear
from
him
next
month,
as
I
mentioned
July
being
a
busy
month,
we
could
not
get
John
Acres
from
the
Kentucky
Center
of
school
safety
or
Ben
Wilcox
our
state
school
security
marshal
for
this
month's
meeting,
as
well
as
the
Kentucky
Department
of
Education.
We
could
not
get
them
here
for
July.
A
A
lot
of
the
role
that
Ben
has
provided
or
Marshall
Wilcox
has
been
providing
updates
for
every
school
year.
Providing
annual
reports
as
it
relates
to
the
findings
and
recommendations,
he
has
a
team
that
conducts
on-site
reviews
to
ensure
that
there's
compliance
and
I
will
say
that
I
give
kudos
to
the
work
of
Ben
Wilcox
and
all
the
the
men
and
women
that
work
for
him.
A
They
are
doing
a
fantastic
job
of
developing
those
relationships
which
are
the
most
critical
part
of
of
school
safety,
of
going
in
and
doing
assessments,
and
not
just
taking
a
a
hammer
and
nail
approach
when
they
go
in.
You
know
they
are
doing
a
very
good
conservative
effort
of
working
with
school
districts.
You
know
when
it
gets
the
issues
of
of
compliance
and
they're
working
with
school
superintendents
to
verify
that
districts
have
completed
the
school
security
risk
assessment
from
the
previous
year
because
we
put
in
there.
A
A
The
next
thing,
also
in
terms
of
the
work
that
was
done,
is
securing
our
schools
with
Personnel.
You
know
we
established
and
outlined
the
roles
that
each
district
school
level
would
hire
a
school
safety
coordinator.
You
can
see
there
all
the
roles
and
responsibilities
the
school
safety
Coordinator
would
be
able
to
do,
and
then
we
went
back
in
2020
and
revised
also
with
Senate
Bill
8
that
established
that
this
does
not
have
to
be
a
school
administrator.
A
A
The
role
of
the
school
safety
coordinators.
You
could
see
there
it's
it's
continued
to
be,
you
know,
providing
training
to
school
principals,
ensuring
that
campus
is
toured
annual
Public
School
Safety.
This
is
the
person
who's
the
face
of
school
districts
as
it
relates
to
school
safety
within
the
school
walls.
A
Also
Senate
Bill
1
amended
previous
statutory
language
to
provide
greater
security
within
the
school
buildings
by
requiring
the
main
entrance
of
the
school
be
controlled
by
an
electronically
locking
door.
We
saw
that
many
school
districts
did
not
have
this
in
place.
Some
had
wide
open
policies,
and
so
with
that,
we
started
to
change
the
way
that
we
did
this,
not
just
propping
open
doors.
I
know
for
many
people.
You
know
this.
For
them
they
got
frustrated
with
that.
A
A
Since
we've
passed
this
since
2019
everybody's,
you
know
for
safety
within
the
school
walls
and
sometimes
if
it's
in
inconvenience,
that's
not
also
going
to
take
place
and
replace
overall
school
safety
within
the
walls
of
the
school
building.
Also,
the
Senate
bill,
one
amended,
as
you
can
see
there
greater
security
of
just
requiring
those
classroom
doors
to
remain
closed
and
locked
during
instructional
time.
We
went
back
and
changed
in
the
legislation
of
Senate
Bill
8
the
next
year
to
allow
for
exceptions
when
there's
only
one
adult
and
one
child
in
the
classroom.
A
As
you
can
tell
this,
is
you
know
with
the
with
student
privacy
as
well
as
anything
of
any
type
of
inappropriateness?
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
that
in
writing.
If
the
school
district
was
doing
that-
and
they
also
could
have
some
common
sense
as
related
to
a
one-on-one,
also
requiring
classroom
doors
with
Windows
to
be
equipped
with
material
to
quickly
cover
the
windy
window
during
building
lockdowns
and
then
also,
this
would
be
into
place
and
complied
by
by
July
1st
of
2022.
A
So
we
started
to
see
schools
work,
diligently,
superintendents,
also,
the
school
safety
coordinators
of
everyone
just
really
chipping
in
and
doing
the
work
and
I
think
Ben
will
talk
next
month's
meeting
about
how
well
we're
doing
right
now,
Statewide
and
once
again
kudos
to
everyone
through
our
school
districts.
Other
Provisions
also
Senate
bill,
one
Suicide,
Prevention
awareness.
You
know
when
we
talked
about
this
I
get
back
to
this
is
not
just
about
school
shootings.
A
We
wanted
to
provide
this
as
well
for
teachers
and
also
for
support
staff
as
well
as
we
continue
through
Senate
bill,
one
also,
the
requirement
of
one
hour
training
to
respond
to
an
active
shooter
situation
with
School
District
employees.
You
know
we've
seen
some
districts
that
have
formed
locally
with
Partnerships.
If
there's
Marshall
Wilcox
they
do
a
great
job.
A
We
saw
many
school
districts
that
started
to
see
just
like
many
any
of
us
that
maybe
grew
up
with
the
days
of
bomb
threats
or
things
such
as
that.
We
were
starting
to
see
social
media
post
of
things
about
something's,
going
to
happen
at
a
school
district.
And
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
teeth
in
here,
because
we
didn't
just
want
any
student
making
or
anybody
in
the
community
making
a
false
statement.
A
We
wanted
to
highlight
the
role
of
our
school
counselors.
We
did
not
want
school
counselors
to
be
just
a
luxury
monitor.
We
didn't
want
them
to
be
just
about
college
career
path,
counseling.
We
wanted
them
to
actually
have
direct
service
counseling
to
our
students,
and
so
we
listen
to
our
guidance
counselors
across
the
Commonwealth
of
Kentucky,
and
we
put
that
ratio
into
place.
A
But,
as
you
see
there,
it
does
say
the
words
as
funds
and
qualified
personnel
become
available
and
I
think
you're
going
to
hear
next
month
from
KDE
about
Workforce
issues
of
not
having
enough
qualified
Personnel
that
are
going
through
right
now.
At
our
undergraduate
colleges
in
counseling
that
we
couldn't
fill
all
of
these
positions,
if
we
wanted
to
right
now
because
of
a
lack
of
a
pipeline
into
these
positions,
and
so
this
is
one
of
our
goals
that
we
put
forth
with
Senate
bill,
one
and
I
look
forward
to
next
month.
A
Hearing
you
know
how
close
we
are
to
that,
but
also
it's
going
to
come
down
to
funding
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
going
to
be
tasked
with
with
this
group
right
here
is
looking
at
funding
going
into
January
of.
What's
going
to
be,
you
know
the
the
the
ask
or
what's
going
to
be
necessary
for
us
to
fulfill
our
SRO,
as
well
as
our
mental
health,
professional
role
in
2020
in
Senate,
Bill
8.
A
We
amended
that
section
to
require
one
counselor
in
each
School
spending,
60
percent
of
their
time,
providing
Services
directly
related
to
students
or
having
a
goal
of
one
provider,
who's
employed
by
the
district
for
every
250
students,
including
the
school
counselor.
A
lot
of
this
we
were
able
to
achieve
also
through
Telehealth.
We
were
able
to
to
get
this
instead
of
hiring
someone
directly
there
within
the
school,
but
ability
to
contract
out
the
services
is
Medicaid
service
providers.
That
could
do
this
type
of
work.
A
A
That
really
gave
us
a
good
understanding
about
that
learning
environment
to
Foster
that
safe
and
stable
areas-
and
so
you
know,
we're
starting
to
see
now
more
districts
starting
to
take
this
approach
and
creating
more
programs
and
I'm
sure.
There's
members
of
this
group
that
may
want
to
talk
about
that
or
some
things
that
they've
seen
firsthand
also
that
the
school
counselor
and
that
school-based
Mental
Health
Service
Providers
and
that
can
be
from
a
whole
host
of
people
that
could
be
from
school
social
workers,
School
psychologists.
A
A
The
trauma-informed
approach
teams
is
created
with
that
piece
of
legislation.
They
will
provide
training
to
also
administrators
teachers
and
staff
on
that
trauma-informed
approach
that
it
would
take
as
well
as
KD,
providing
a
tool
kit
for
strategies.
Behavioral
interventions
issues
such
as
that
also
we
had
with
that
as
well
plans
for
the
local
Boards
of
Education
to
implement
trauma-informed
approaches
in
their
school
districts.
I
know
that
Eric
Kennedy's
back
here
in
the
back
with
the
Kentucky
School
Board
Association
I,
think
Eric
has
seen
a
lot
of
that.
A
That's
been
put
forth
on
the
school
board
level
them
developing
plans
and
implementing
those
type
of
approaches,
and
it's
been
very
successful
and
that's
also
collaborating
with
local
law
enforcement.
The
Kentucky
State
Police
also
helping
train
those
issues
pertaining
to
school
and
school
safety,
as
it
relates
to
trauma
exposed
students.
I
will
say
that
this
is
something
that
many
I
think
there's
been
over.
A
5000
notifications
by
the
Kentucky
State
Police
of
as
well
as
local
law
enforcement
of
a
student
that
is
exposed
to
a
crime
or
an
event
that
happens
that
school
districts
are
then
alerted
to
say.
This
student
has
been
exposed
to
a
trauma
event
that
just
may
have
happened.
It
could
have
been
a
a
shooting
in
a
neighborhood.
It
could
have
been
of
domestic
abuse
in
a
household
that
has
been
very
helpful
for
school
districts
to
kind
of
pinpoint
to
know
that
student
coming
to
school
that
day.
A
A
A
But
this
will
be
something
that
you
may
want
to
highlight
as
we
go
forth
with
our
meetings,
this
session
of
looking
at
the
amounts
that
we
have
allocated,
but
also
how
much
more
do
we
still
need
to
do,
because
once
again
as
funds
become
available,
it's
been
one
of
the
key
terms
throughout
the
legislation
as
we
go
forward.
So
once
again,
that
is
an
overview
of
what
we
did
with
the
bill,
as
well
as
some
of
the
Amendments
that
have
been
changed
to
that
with
Senate
Bill
8,
as
well
as
house
bill
63..
A
A
When
we
voted
on
the
piece
of
legislation,
I
will
say
that
28
States,
either
directly
took
the
bill
that
we
did
in
some
form
or
fashion
in
its
entirety
or
portions
of
the
bill
to
make
it
laws
in
other
states.
So
what
we
did
was
Landmark
legislation
at
the
time.
I
was
proud
to
be
a
part
of
it,
but
I
give
the
Kudos
once
again
to
my
colleagues
working
in
a
bipartisan
and
even
a
non-partisan
manner,
of
what
we're
able
to
achieve
with
Senate
Bill
1
of
2019..
C
Thank
you
chairwise
again,
thank
you
and
the
work
you
did
along
with
co-chair
Carney
on
the
implementation
development
Senate
bill.
One
actually
was
at
that
meeting
in
Trigg
County
that
year
we
had
an
education
committee
meeting
that
day
and
you
all
met
afterwards
had
opportunity
to
sit
in
and
listen
to
the
comments,
and
it
was
a
team
approach.
C
I
thought
to
myself.
We've
already
implemented
that
in
Kentucky
we
have
those
requirements
in
there.
So
I
do
believe
that
we're
ahead
of
the
game,
but
I
also
believe
it's
important
for
us
to
stay
ahead
of
the
game.
So
that's
why
it's
important
that
we
have
this
task
force.
I
I
do
have
a
list
of
questions
about
I'll
categorize
them,
one
of
them.
C
I'll
kind
of
refer
to
is
the
hardening
of
the
schools,
and
we
did
put
some
requirements
in,
but
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
classroom
door,
locks
and
it
says
that
they
are
allowed
to
be
self-locking
when
they
pull.
That,
too,
are
they
required
to
have
locks
that
lock
when
the
door
is
shut,
or
do
you
know,
or
is
that
probably
a
better
question
I.
A
C
Yep
but
I'll
I'll
save
my
notes
for
for
the
next
meeting
on
that
question.
But
if
you
don't
mind
in
regard
to
hardening
of
the
schools,
I
think
all
of
our
new
school
buildings
that
are
built
are
built
where
the
school
has
the
foyer,
sometimes
I've
heard
them
referred
to
as
Sally
ports,
or
you
have
that
entrance
area.
C
However,
we
have
a
lot
of
older
school
buildings
in
our
state.
I
have
been
in
I
know:
I've
got
one
in
my
district,
where
you
have
to
you
have
to
get
you
have
to
get.
You
know,
buzzed
in,
but
once
you're
buzzed
into
that
school
building,
you've
got
access
to
that
entire
school,
so
I
think
going
forward.
I
think
that's
one
area
we
could
look
at
to
improve
in
the
hardening
of
schools.
C
I
noticed
that
we
had
some
school
construction
Bond
money
available,
possibly
that's
something
for
some
of
these
districts
that
need
to
make
improvements
like
that.
I
know
another
area
that
I
recall
that
there
is
a
film
that
you
can
a
bullet
resistant
film
that
you
can
put
on
glass
and
I
think
those
are
some
of
the
things
we
need
to
have
a
conversation
about
how
we
can
better
Harden
our
schools.
C
I.
Think
probably
one
of
the
most
important
things
we
need
to
talk
about
is
the
mental
health
aspect.
That's
going
on
in
our
country
in
our
schools.
I
believe
that
this
is
an
area
that
I
think
we've
got
some
work
that
we
need
to
do
it's
an
unfortunate
reality
that
we
find
ourselves
in
and
and
I
think
the
the
the
the
big
question
I'd
like
for
us
to
solve
and
resolve
and
talk
about
is
what's
the
best
approach
for
us
to
take.
C
I
know
the
bill
talks
about
one
person
being
an
employee
counselor
employed
for
every
250
students.
However
I
know
it
is
a
community-based
approach.
I
know
some
districts
contract
with
Partners
in
their
Community
versus
having
the
employees,
so
I
think
that's
important,
though,
that
we
focused
on
that
and
I
recently
had
a
school
administrator
mention
this
to
me.
So
I
won't
claim
it
as
an
original
idea,
a
lot
of
times
in
education
we
Fair.
C
We
refer
to
tier
one
instruction
versus
interventions
and
in
the
issue
of
school
safety,
especially
in
mental
health,
it
seems
like
we're
always
intervening
after
a
problem
has
happened
after
a
problem
has
occurred.
So
I
guess
the
question
is:
is
there
an
effort
we
can
do
to
just
to
improve
wealth,
mental
Wellness
and
our
young
people,
and
also
in
our
teachers,
I?
Think?
That's
something
I'd
like
to
see
us
look
at
so
just
a
few
comments.
Mr
chairman
some
things.
A
Thank
you
representative.
My
I
Pat
you
on
the
back
for
a
lot
of
the
comments
you
made
there
you
know
and
looking
at
within
the
school
walls.
One
of
the
things
that
I
remember
us
seeing
was
groups
like
sources
of
strength
and
different
organizations
that
were
student-led,
which
were
excellent
to
see.
I
had
some
of
my
colleagues
I
heard
when
we're
talking
about
the
mental
health
approach
of
hiring
so
many
professionals
per
student,
that's
that's
difficult.
I
think
I
could
get
a
shake
of
the
head
you're.
A
C
A
And
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
we're
going
to
be
tasked
of
looking
at
you
know,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
things,
then
directions
and
I'm
looking
forward.
You
know
with
this
working
group
of
where
we
can
take
this
conversation,
but
especially
coming
out
of
of
the
post-covered
pandemic
of
looking
at
the
mental
health.
As
we
all
know,
it
is,
is
critical
that
we,
you
know,
get
this
as
right
as
possible.
People
ask
me
all
the
time.
Well,
what's
the
amount
you're
going
to
put
in
a
budget?
A
If
you
get
that
request,
I,
don't
know
what
a
appropriate
amount
would
be.
You
know
we're
talking
about
the
safety
and
well-being
of
our
children,
protecting
them
as
well
as
our
school
Personnel
within
the
walls.
I,
don't
know
what
magic
number
that
would
be,
but
we
need
to
do
more.
We've
been
talking
about
this
since
2019.
A
It's
a
great
piece
of
legislation,
it's
a
great
bill,
but
if
you
don't
fund
it,
if
you
don't
have
money
behind
it,
it's
it's
just
kind
of
not
doing
the
purpose
of
what's
intended
to
do
so,
that's
hoping
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
this
working
group
is
going
to
be.
You
know,
charged
with
for
looking
at
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
it
gets
mentioned
is
is
looking
at
our
sros.
Are
we
struggling
to
get
people
and
into
those
positions?
A
We
talk
about
a
Workforce,
a
labor
problem
because
of
of
guidance,
counselors
and
mental
health
professionals
and
service
providers.
Excuse
me,
but
do
we
have
enough
sros
that
are
covering
campuses
across
the
Commonwealth?
Do
we
need
to
look
at
volunteers?
Do
we
need
to
look
at
people
with
former
military
background
if
they
can
go
through
the
proper
training
become
pop
certified?
Do
we
need
to
have
that
conversation?
A
I
think
these
are
things
that
many
people
approach
me
about,
and
this
working
group
may
be
one
of
those
that
can
look
at
that
particular
type
of
issue
I'm,
looking
forward
to
next
month
that
we
can
ask
those
questions
to
our
state
school
safety.
Marshall
is
there's
those
areas
that
we
need
to
be
working,
because
we
know
some
other
states
across
the
United.
States
are
doing
such
as
that.
So
that
needs
to
be
looked
at.
D
So
I
know
some
of
that
is
going
on
across
our
Commonwealth
and
I
would
encourage
us
to
to
use
those
models
where
there
is
collaboration
to
share
those
successes
and
and
those
difficulties
with
other
districts
that
are
struggling
to
find
the
Personnel
or
the
funding
or
the
or
the
manpower
to
do
so.
But
I'm
very
encouraged
by
what
I
have
seen
more
of
a
collaborative
approach
where
it's
just
not
the
general
assembly
or
the
legislature.
That
is
just
providing
all
of
it.
E
So
that's
7.4
million
dollars
and
I
just
pulled
out.
My
calculator
divided
by
the
171
Kentucky
school
districts
is
43
000
per
District,
not
preschool,
but
per
District
and
I
have
to
think
that
that's
not
adequate
for
the
needs,
and
especially
you
know,
given
the
Mental
Health
crisis
that
that
some
of
you
have
alluded
to
already
and
that
we
keep
hearing
about
and
that
we
know
is
real
across
the
state
and
across
the
country.
So
I
I
do
hope,
we'll
dig
into
that
budget
amount
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
say,
representative
Tipton.
E
You
talk
about
the
tier
one
instruction
and
that's
I.
I
feel
that's
so
important.
You
know
when
we
talk
about
the
trauma-informed
approaches,
I
I,
don't
think
those
approaches
are
designed
to
just
Target
the
kid
who
had
trauma
yesterday
right,
that's
a
whole
school
climate
and
culture
issue
where
we
really
have
the
opportunity
to
treat
the
school
buildings
themselves
as
the
patient.
E
You
know
instead
of
the
individual
so
that
we're
creating
you
know
psychologically
safe
and
healthy
environments
where
all
kinds
of
kids
can
Thrive,
regardless
of
their
needs,
regardless
of
their
background
or
what
went
on
it
home
last
night,
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
and
I
think
I
and
we'll
find
out
more
next
month.
I
think
that's
really
the
one
piece
of
this
that
trauma-informed
schools
piece
that
we've
not
really
invested
in
we've
not
really
made
it
clear.
They
have.
E
The
school
districts
have
to
have
those
plans,
but
what
do
they
do
with
them?
Are
they
collected
in
one
repository
I?
Don't
think
that
they
are
so
how
is
that
being
implemented?
How
are
we
monitoring
and
getting
an
idea
if
that
is
in
fact,
you
know
something
that
that
we're
seeing
across
our
schools
across
the
state
district
by
District,
so
those
are
topics
I'm
going
to
be
really
interested
in
as
this
work
proceeds.
So
thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
chairman,
wise,
not
surprisingly,
I'm
going
to
come
at
this
in
a
different
manner.
I
do
applaud
the
work
we've
done
with
regard
to
sb1
and
the
school
safety
and
resiliency
act
over
the
last
four
years.
I
I
think
when
Cinder
wise
and
representative
speak
about
how
we've
been
the
head
of
the
curve
in
that
area.
F
For
the
most
part
we
have,
but
again,
I
I,
don't
think
we
can
fairly
talk
about
this
subject
without
raising
at
least
a
couple
of
issues
and
I
want
to
I'm
going
to
raise
those
during
this
task
force
one.
We
have
to
have
to
talk
about
access
to
guns
and
the
problem
that
that
exists
in
this
country.
With
regard
to
that,
when
you
look
at
the
school
shootings
you've
all
these
a
perfect
example
I'm
glad
representative
brought
that
up.
F
We
just
have
too
many
guns
in
this
country
and
it's
causing
too
many
shootings
I
mean
you
can't
you
can't
go
through
a
week
now
without
seeing
anywhere
from
10
to
20
mass
shootings
in
this
country
a
week.
That's
the
reality,
sadly,
and
I'll
say
this
on
July
18th.
Sadly,
we're
going
to
see
somewhere
in
the
neighborhood
of
50
to
100
school
shootings
doing
the
23-24
school
year.
Hopefully
none
of
them
will
take
place
in
Kentucky
I
pray.
They
don't
take
place
anywhere.
So
so
we've
got
to
look
at
things.
F
In
my
opinion,
like
red,
frat,
red
flag
laws,
there's
no
reason
why
we
can't
pass
red
flag
laws.
We
talk
about
having
school,
counselors
and
school
psychologists
because
I'm
a
big
advocate
for
School
nurses,
but
we've
got
to
have
an
approach
whereby
those
students
who
show
Behavior
disorders
or
mental
health
issues.
We
can
address
that
correctly
and
not
give
those
individuals
access
to
guns
and
remove
any
guns
in
their
possessions.
Regrettably,
we
hear
about
those
way
way
too
late.
After
hundreds
of
our
kids
across
a
year
have
been
killed.
F
You
know:
we've
got
to
talk
about
red
flag
laws.
Number
two:
you
know
we
have
to
talk
about
these
military
style
weapons
which,
for
the
life
of
me,
I
just
don't
understand
why
they
why
we're
walking
around
the
streets
on
them?
You
know
those
are
weapons
at
War
and
I
guess
you
could
say
to
some
extent.
F
We
are
at
war
with
weapons
in
this
country,
but
we
don't
need
to
be
regard
to
these
military
style
ak-15
weapons
which
were
used
in
Uvalde
by
the
way
to
kill
those
students,
so
so
I'm
going
to
be
persistent
and
insistent
on
at
least
addressing
those
issues
during
this
task
force.
Now
they
may
not
be
popular
with
my
committee
members,
but
that's
okay.
They
still
need
to
be,
they
still
need
to
be
raised
and
they
still
need
to
be
addressed
with.
A
Thank
you,
Senator
Thomas,
any
other
member.
Any
other
comments,
discussion
questions.
As
you
can
see
this.
This
work
group
will
have
a
lot
of
different
areas
that
we're
going
to
take
on
the
the
focus
I
think
we're
directed
with
this
is
about
funding,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
won't
get
into
other
discussions.
A
We
did
the
same
thing
in
2019
with
what
we
were
working
on
at
that
time
and
so
I
look
forward
to
working
with
each
and
every
one
of
you
I
do
ask
if
you
are
a
member
of
this
working
group.
If
you
have
ideas,
if
you
have
agenda
items
that
you
wish
to
have
placed,
please
contact
me
or
my
our
co-chair
Lewis
about
that.
So
as
we
go
forward,
our
meeting
next
month
will
take
place
on
August
1st,
which
is
just
in
a
matter
of
two
weeks.
A
We'll
be
right
back
here
and,
like
I
said
our
presenters
at
that
time
will
be
John,
Akers
school
safety,
Marshall
Ben
Wilcox
as
well,
somebody
from
Kentucky
Department
of
Education
for
next
month's
meeting.
If
I
see
no
further
comments
or
questions,
do
I
have
motion
for
adjournment
so
move.
Thank
you
all
so
much.
