District 8 Councilman Manny Peláez is pushing for the city to invest in school shooting prevention efforts of some sort, though he is still sorting out the exact parameters of what that could look like.
District 8 Councilman Manny Pelaez addresses the Mayor, City Council and City staff as they convene on Thursday, Apr. 13, 2023 for a day-long work session. During the session, the Mayor and City Council provided policy direction for service priorities for the City’s Fiscal Year 2024 Proposed Budget and Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Plan.
Peláez submitted a policy proposal for council consideration last week — the first step in getting a policy before the full council for a vote. The speed of that process is largely determined by council committee chairs appointed by the mayor, and they've been known to take several months to move through.
His proposal is vague, but it calls for the council to adopt and fund “an evidence-based and expert-guided mass shooting prevention and response plan for local schools.” Peláez hopes the city can help fund programs that help harden school security with physical infrastructure and technology while also addressing mental health issues and starting conversations with people about violence.
