School Safety Measure Introduced

A state Sen­a­tor is intro­duc­ing leg­is­la­tion that would require all San Joaquin Val­ley school doors have inside locks. Sen­a­tor Marty Block says this will pro­tect stu­dents and teach­ers from cam­pus intrud­ers. It’s esti­mated that 70-percent of schools already have inside locks, but those that don’t must be secured from the out­side. The bill would ensure every school regard­less of age com­plies with the inside lock requirement.
