The Pennsylvania Senate Education Committee announced on Feb. 28 that it planned to hold a hearing two days later to “focus on ways to improve student and school safety.” The session was set to be chaired by Sen. John Eichelberger, R-Blair.

The hearing is set to take place 13 days before the next regularly scheduled meeting of the panel. The press statement did not include a list of witnesses but said there will be testimony on the subject of protecting students.
