 The Kentucky State Legislature received a new bill proposal which would require any officers assigned to Kentucky schools to be armed. Senate Education Committee Chairman Max Weiss filed Senate Bill 8 stating that it was a priority. This bill is a follow-up to last year's school safety law that was passed after a deadly shooting at Marshall County High School in 2018. More mental health professionals will be added to schools such as social workers and psychologists with a goal of providing one counselor for every 250 students. Funding plans have yet been decided for Senate Bill 8.
