Sen.Hwang: An Opportunity to Make CT Schools Safer

The threats of violence we have seen against schools in Newtown, Fairfield and across Connecticut highlight the need to strengthen our laws in this area.

Tomorrow, March 2, a public hearing will be held on Senate Bill 246, An Act Concerning the Zero-Tolerance Safe School Environment.

The proposal would increase the penalties for when a threat involves a preschool, K-12 school or an institution of higher education.

The public hearing starts at 1 p.m. at the Gen Re Auditorium, University of Connecticut, 1 University Place, Stamford.
