Rick Scott meeting with high school children in the wake of the massacre at a high school in Parkland, Florida.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Florida Gov. Rick Scott unveiled Friday a half-billion dollar plan to keep &#8220;students safe&#8221; following the tragic shooting at a high school in Parkland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, I am announcing a major action plan,&#8221; said Gov. Scott in a news release. &#8220;I will be working with the legislature aggressively over the next two weeks to get it done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Unfortunately, none of the plans I\u2019m announcing today will bring any of them back, but it\u2019s important to remember them,&#8221; the Republican governor continued. &#8220;The seventeen lives that were cut short and all the hopes and dreams that were ruined have changed our state forever. Florida will never be the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On the school safety front, Scott is calling for every public school to have at least one school resource officer.\u00a0 Additionally, he is making funds available for &#8220;hardening measures&#8221; like metal detectors, steel doors, upgraded locks and bullet resistant glass.<\/p>\n<p>Gun control is also part of the plan.\u00a0 Scott wants to ban the sale or purchase of bump stocks, raise the minimum age to purchase any firearm from 18 to 21 and establish a system to confiscate firearms from those accused of being a threat to public safety, among other provisions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My message to them has been very simple \u2013 you are not alone. Change is coming\u2026 and it will come fast,&#8221; said Gov. Scott.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3BHcVPSD4p0?rel=0\" width=\"854\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Gov. Scott&#8217;s Major Action Plan<\/h1>\n<h2>Keeping Guns Away from Dangerous and Violent People<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Create the \u201cViolent Threat Restraining Order\u201d which will allow a court to prohibit a violent or mentally ill person from purchasing or possessing a firearm or any other weapon when either a family member, community welfare expert or law enforcement officer files a sworn request and presents evidence to the court of a threat of violence involving firearms or other weapons. There would be speedy due process for the accused and any fraudulent or false statements would face criminal penalties;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Strengthen gun purchase and possession restrictions for mentally ill individuals under the Baker Act. If a court involuntarily commits someone for treatment under the Baker Act because they are at risk of harming themselves or others, an individual would be required to surrender all firearms and not regain their right to purchase or possess a firearm until a court hearing. A minimum 60-day period would be established before individuals can ask a court to restore access to firearms;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Prohibit a person from possessing or purchasing a firearm if they are subject to an injunction for protection against stalking, cyberstalking, dating violence, repeat violence, sexual violence, or domestic violence;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Require all individuals purchasing firearms to be 21-years-old or over. Exceptions include active duty and reserve military and spouses, National Guard members, and law enforcement;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Establish enhanced criminal penalties for threats to schools, such as social media threats of shootings or bombings, and enhance penalties if any person possesses or purchases a gun after they have been deemed by state law to not have access to a gun; and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Ban purchase or sale of bump stocks.<\/p>\n<h2>$450 Million Proposal to Keep Students Safe<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Mandatory School Resource Officers in every public school. These law enforcement officers must either be sworn sheriff\u2019s deputies or police officers and be present during all hours students are on campus. The size of the campus should be a factor in determining staffing levels by the county sheriff\u2019s office, and Governor Scott is proposing at least one officer for every 1,000 students. This must be implemented by the start of the 2018 school year;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Provide sheriffs\u2019 departments the authority to train additional school personnel or reserve law enforcement officers to protect students if requested by the local school board;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Require mandatory active shooter training as outlined by the Department of Homeland Security. All training and code red drills must be completed during the first week of each semester in all public schools. Both faculty and students must participate in active shooter drills and local sheriff\u2019s offices must be involved in training;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Increase funding in the Safe Schools Allocation to address specific school safety needs within each district. This includes school hardening measures like metal detectors, bullet- proof glass, steel doors, and upgraded locks. The Florida Department of Education (DOE), in conjunction with FDLE, will provide minimum school safety and security standards by July 1, 2018, to all school districts;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Require each school district that receives a Safe Schools Allocation to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the local sheriff\u2019s office, the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) and any community behavioral health provider for the purpose of sharing information to coordinate services in order to provide prevention or intervention strategies;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Establish a new, anonymous K-12 \u201cSee Something, Say Something\u201d statewide, dedicated hotline, website and mobile app.;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Establish funding to require access to dedicated mental health counselors to provide direct counseling services to students at every school. These counselors cannot serve dual roles, such as teaching or academic advising. Every student must have the opportunity to meet annually one-on-one with a mental health professional, and receive ongoing counseling as needed;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Require each school to have a threat assessment team including a teacher, a local law enforcement officer, a human resource officer, a DCF employee and DJJ employee, and the principal to meet monthly to review any potential threats to students and staff at the school; and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Require crisis intervention training for all school personnel. This training must be completed before the 2018 school start date.<\/p>\n<p>*NOTE: All school safety plans as outlined above must be submitted by each public school to their County Sheriff\u2019s Office, by July 15, 2018, for approval. Once all plans and requests for school hardening have been approved by the county sheriff\u2019s department, in consultation with local police jurisdictions, plans can be submitted by the school district to DOE for schools to receive any state funds. School districts must also take all capital outlay funds received from taxpayers and use these funds for school hardening before it can be spent on any other capital outlay. This must be approved by the sheriff\u2019s department and submitted to DOE by August 1, 2018.<\/p>\n<h2>$50 Million Proposal for Mental Health Initiatives<\/h2>\n<p>\u2022 Expand mental health service teams statewide to serve youth and young adults with early or serious mental illness by providing counseling, crisis management and other critical mental health services;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Require every sheriffs\u2019 office to have a DCF case manager embedded in their department to solely work as a crisis welfare worker for repeat cases in the community. This will require 67 additional employees to be hired at DCF by July 15, 2018; and<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Provide law enforcement and mental health coordination matching grants to allow sheriffs to establish special law enforcement teams to coordinate with DCF case managers as outlined above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;My message to them has been very simple \u2013 you are not alone.
