Walz Warned Years Ago About School Safety Concerns Ahead of Buffalo Shooting
Minnesota Catholic leaders warned Governor Tim Walz years ago about the urgent need for security improvements at nonpublic schools, a concern that was echoed just days before a deadly attack on a school in Anoka County.
Minnesota Catholic leaders warned Governor Tim Walz about school safety concerns years before a deadly attack, stating that Catholic and other nonpublic schools were in 'urgent and critical need' of security improvements. The letter was sent to the governor's office in 2018, but it appears no action was taken until after the shooting at a private school in St. Cloud last month. The incident highlighted a potential oversight in addressing school safety concerns, particularly in nonpublic schools that are not subject to the same regulations as public schools. Authorities have since announced plans to review security measures for these institutions.
