State Representative Greg Alexander has voiced frustration over ongoing delays and partisan politics hindering progress on crucial school safety measures in Michigan. Alexander, of Carsonville, is urging the House Education Committee to prioritize a hearing on legislation aimed at enhancing school safety and bolstering mental health support for students, in response to recommendations from a bipartisan school safety task force formed after the tragic shooting at Oxford High School.
Despite ample time for consideration, the Democrat-led committee has diverted attention away from these vital bills, sparking criticism from Alexander and other advocates. The proposed legislation, including House Bills 4088-4100, aims to fortify school safety protocols, improve mental health resources, and enhance emergency response procedures.
With the safety of students at stake, Alexander emphasizes the urgency for bipartisan cooperation and swift action from the Legislature.
