Betsy DeVos: How the omnibus spending law makes schools safer

Last month, when 17 innocent children and adults were massacred in Parkland, Fla., President Trump delivered a forceful response: The failures to confront school violence in America over the past 40 years end now.

Trump and his entire administration are committed to making America safe by implementing evidence-based measures that will help improve mental health, prevent crime, and keep violent behavior out of our schools and communities. At the president’s urging, Congress included a number of these provisions into the recent government funding legislation, now signed into law.
