Increased access to mental health services and effective integration of law enforcement and school resource officers were among the recommendations in a school safety task force’s report to Gov. Tom Wolf and Auditor General Eugene DePasquale that was unveiled Aug. 27. The task force was created in the wake of February’s school shooting in Parkland, Florida. The report also called for increasing teaching of social-emotional skills through 12th grade; currently those programs only reach students in kindergarten through eighth grade. It addressed bullying and social isolation as creating conditions for violence.

“Task force participants shared that students need more support to address bullying and harassment,” the report said. “Several parents and school personnel reported seeing numerous unsuccessful attempts to address bullying, saying too much happens online and out of adults’ sight.”
