(ABC 6 News) – School safety is being addressed by Minnesota lawmakers at the Capitol with a bill being cleared by the House Education Committee.

The bill would require every school district to have school safety initiatives in their 10-year building maintenance plans.

It would also make new funding available for districts to install things like bullet-resistant doors and windows as well as remote lockdown activation systems to streamline communication with law enforcement.

“Overall, this is just a bill that simply puts students, teachers and staff first. Providing them with resources to have cover, concealment, communication in those dire circumstances,” said Rep. Elliott Engen.

This was a rare bill in the Minnesota House with unanimous support, and it is now headed to the Public Safety Committee.
