'We're actually looking at how can we improve the safety of every student in every classroom, how we can improve the learning environment and make sure that teachers feel safe in the schools that they teach in.'
DENVER — Gov. Jared Polis signed two bipartisan bills, both focused on school safety, into law on Thursday afternoon.
The new Office of School Safety will oversee both the School Safety Resource Center and crisis response unit. Bipartisan bill aims to create state Office of School Safety Rep. Bird said after significant outreach to schools across the state, the sponsors learned that the creation of this office was something very much needed and appreciated by Colorado's school districts.
Sen. Kirkmeyer said when she was elected to office, she focused on brainstorming ways to make a difference, improve the lives of every Coloradan, including students and teachers. SB23-070 was introduced Jan. 27. Its prime sponsors are Sen. Chris Kolker , Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer , Rep. Mary Young and Rep. Ryan Armagost .
"And this training will allow SROs to increase their capacity to respond to those very important issues since they are so critical in doing that," she said."And it will provide them with a trauma-informed perspective and compassionate response that they already have, but increase their capacity." The bill defines"eligible immigrants" as anybody who has valid Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals status with the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
Gov. Polis said there are a number of ways Colorado is stepping up to address workforce shortages. This bill looks at those individuals who are fully qualified, POST-certified but can't carry a firearm because"the federal government is bogged down decades in sorting out paperwork." Rep. Kipp said the bill was brought to her by a constituent whose dream was to become a police officer but was unable to because he was a DACA recipient.
