The resolution includes statistics on gun violence in schools, information about what LCPS is doing to keep kids safe, and asks legislators on all levels to come together to taken action to cut down on gun violence. “We do need to state that we stand against gun violence in our schools,” board member Beth Huck said at a meeting March 13.
