Legislation was brought to the floor a few days ago to release money to schools to spend as they see fit (mainly for security, and mental health) It was objected by one from Connecticut with no explanation why. Thoughts?

Perhaps they found issue with the language in the legislation or possibly the amount of money proposed or even how it was being funded.
I think it would be great to have extra funding for those things, both being very important. Security is a huge necessity in schools and school counselors are so overrun. We were just approved to get a social worker in our building in Feb last year and it's really great to have someone else in the building to help with ongoing family and student needs besides the counselor (who might as well be wonder woman with all she is tasked with and handles.)

Maybe they saw the Abbott Elementary episode where the principal spent all the money on dumb stuff (a new sign, getting her hair and nails done, etc). This episode was hilarious!

I’m sure the person that objected had a reason, maybe you could just ask?

Me too!

I think the issue is that the funds would be going towards armed security officers and while that is nice, we need to also get to the root of the issue. More guns in school is not going to stop some disturbed person from shooting up a school. Better security measures are necessary, security is necessary but more support staff is necessary to address mental health issues before it gets out of control. Better Interventions need to be in place for students with mental health issues.
