Georgia Superintendent Calls for Enhanced School Safety Measures After Deadly Shooting

Richard Woods proposes funding for resource officers and alert systems following the Apalachee High School tragedy.

Georgia School Superintendent Richard Woods is advocating for increased funding to ensure every public school has a resource officer and a crisis alert system.
The call for action comes after a shooting at Apalachee High School on September 4 resulted in four deaths and nine injuries.
Authorities credit the recently implemented Centegix crisis alert system and the actions of school resource officers with preventing further harm during the incident.
Woods also aims to expand the state's Apex mental health program and improve information sharing between schools and law enforcement.
The shooter, 14-year-old Colt Gray, has been charged with murder, and his father faces charges for providing access to the firearm used in the attack.
