Guns, School Safety and Policy: What works and what doesn’t?

In the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings in Newtown Connecticut, the national debate rages on about gun regulations and efforts to keep students safe at school.  Will more stringent gun laws make schools safer?  What about arming administrators and teachers?  We’ll talk with Venice resident and Executive Director of the School Safety Advocacy CouncilCurtis Lavarello who speaks at the National School Boards Association Conference this week in San Diego.  We’ll explore the efficacy of new laws being proposed at the state and national level and the future of school safety policy.
