Reading a statement outside Stoneman Douglas High School in Broward County, Ryan Petty implored legislators to pass Gov. Rick Scott's proposal to
add armed security guards, keep guns away from the mentally ill and improve mental health programs for at - risk teens.
An Education Week analysis of more than 450 bills related to school safety filed in the days, weeks, and months after the deadliest K - 12 school shooting in U.S. history found that legislators have proposed solutions that include
arming teachers,
adding guards or police officers, and shoring up the
security of school buildings.
