Trump has disbanded a newly formed board meant to advise federal agencies about school safety strategies and practices to protect students.
Organized in June, the Federal School Safety Clearinghouse External Advisory Board included school safety experts, parents of children killed in school shootings, school district leaders and advocacy groups, EdWeek reported. The board held its first meeting in October and was in the process of establishing its priorities.
Three board members confirmed to EdWeek that they received a Department of Homeland Security memo notifying them of the plan to terminate the current board members as “future committee activities will be focused solely on advancing our critical mission to protect the homeland.”
The Trump administration disbanded a board that advises agencies on school safety strategies. Members include parents of school shooting victims.
