Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) is against the passage of the bill, saying it is cumbersome, duplicative and unnecessary.
Council members said they wanted to avoid a repeat of last August, when teachers and parents returned to classrooms and reportedly complained to their representatives of broken HVAC systems and other faulty equipment. After the school shooting in Uvalde, Tex., this spring renewed discussions about school safety, some teachers and parents in the District reported that locks on building and classroom doors were broken.
“This will unfortunately duplicate work and cause unnecessary reporting and tracking issues,” Bowser wrote in her letter, shared with The Washington Post. The safety reports, which would include the percentage of doors with broken locks, would remain private. George said she had initially wanted the bill to require the school system to publicly report how many potential school employees, contractors and volunteers are stuck in the security clearance process.
