DeWine: 145 Ohio Schools Haven't Submitted Safety Plans

DEWINE: "The responding police officer can actually pull that up in real time and look the format of the school, look at basically the blueprint of that school and that may be important."

DeWine says 145 schools throughout the state haven’t yet submitted their plans and maps. He’s hoping they will do that this week, especially in light of the recent school shooting in Connecticut. DeWine says his office provides one day seminars for school leaders to learn how to prevent school shootings and deal with one if it happens. He encourages school districts to take advantage of that resource.
