Trump's school safety commission aims to use students to help make schools safer

Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high school returned to school Wednesday for the start of the new year, six months after the devastating shooting shook their community in Parkland. In the wake of the mass shooting, President Donald Trump established a school safety commission, chaired by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, which convened for the fifth time Thursday.

DeVos made clear to lawmakers in June that exploring the role of guns in making schools safer was not part of the "commission’s charge," and in keeping with that tone, the discussion with experts shifted to prevention by fortifying schools with additional security measures and training, with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen adding that students should participate in the response.
