The Biden administration announced new actions Thursday on a range of gun-related issues, including a new executive order in part aimed at giving schools guidance about how to train for an active shooter.
The executive order directs Biden administration officials to publish information for K-12 schools and higher education institutions, including resources on how to create, implement and evaluate “evidence-informed active shooter drills,” according to a White House fact sheet.
The information should also include how to conduct effective and age-appropriate drills, and how to best communicate with families and students about the exercises, the White House fact sheet said.
