YAKIMA, Wash. – Washington Senator Lisa Wellman is speaking with local educators about ways to improve school safety.
Wellman said she wants to find out what’s working, what isn’t and what else needs to be done.
“It is about guns and physical safety but it is also about the fact that we have 30,000 kids in the United States committing suicide,” she said.
Wellman said they want teachers to be aware of the kids who are feeling like outsiders in their schools and what can be done to help them feel included in the community.
