The state senate on Wednesday approved a comprehensive measure intended to make Oklahoma schools safer. Senate Bill 1941, the Oklahoma School Security Act, includes numerous provisions to secure school facilities, reduce school violence and bullying and involve school administrators in making their schools safer places for students and staff.
Sen. Todd Lamb, author of the bill, said it was imperative that the Legislature take action to reduce the frequency of violent crime and bullying in schools.
“Passage of this bill is an important first step toward making our schools safer,” said Lamb, R-Edmond. “We have a responsibility to ensure our schools are safe environments for students and educators. Parents should never have to worry for the safety of their children when they are at our schools.”
