Having guardians in schools is one of the most effective ways to ensure highly trained personnel are in place to respond to an active assailant.

HB 757 extends the guardian program to postsecondary institutions, ensuring students have access to safe and secure learning environments.

Thank you @michellesalzman and Senator Don Gaetz for leading this important effort to strengthen school safety at Florida’s colleges and universities.
