What's Not on the Agenda? School Safety!

Yes, the Sumner County Commission meets Monday night.  And they have a lot to discuss.  One thing they won't be talking about, however, is school safety. 

That's because some commissioners want to wait until an "ad hoc committee" on school safety makes recommendations.  Never mind that there is an existing proposal from the School Board waiting for County Commission review.  Never mind that security experts are reviewing schools and making recommendations.  Never mind that every day of delay means another day that security solutions are delayed. 

The County Commission would rather have its own recommendations and vote on those than review approve or even vote down the School Board's proposals. 

So, you can show up Monday and watch - but school safety is NOT on the agenda.  Oh, but proposals have been adopted in Williamson and Rutherford counties.  MNPS is moving forward with security efforts.  But in Sumner, we have to wait.  Until next month ... or beyond?
