Schools' safety seems to be improving year over year in Kentucky. That’s according to State School Safety Marshal Ben Wilcox. In an interview with WEKU’s Eastern Standard, Wilcox said there was legislation passed in 2019 that took steps to address school security and mental health concerns.
“The School Safety Resiliency Act provides for both of those. They provide for that hardware of making sure that we are keeping bad people out. And that heartware of making sure that our students have that mental well-being with counselors with assistance from other mental health professional staff,” said Wilcox.
