Before six people died in a mass shooting in Tennessee, lawmakers wrote a bill that would dictate that all schools would have a safety plan in the event of an active shooter in their building.
The bill — HB0322/SB274 — would mandate a plan with crisis intervention, emergency response and emergency management. An amendment added to the bill would make that same rule for private and church schools, like The Covenant School. Students and staff lived through a mass shooting 11 days ago, when six people died — including three 9-year-olds.
