Commentary: The School Safety Act Political commentary by Rep. John "Bam" Carney and Sen. Max Wise There are very few Kentuckians who do not remember how they felt when they heard of last year's shooting at Marshall County High School. As parents who share a strong passion for education, this tragedy shook us to the core. As legislators, we realized that our state had to do more to prevent school violence, not only to protect potential victims, but also to recognize warning signs and provide services to potential perpetrators. With the 2019 Regular Session coming to a close, it is our hope that this session will be defined by our response to the tragedy at Marshall County High School, the School Safety and Resiliency Act. This transformative measure passed into law as Senate Bill 1 and is the result of months of work by the School Safety Working Group.
