He said he is speaking on behalf of the District to thank the City for considering Resolution 2018-37. As a Trustee on the Ohio School Board Association after the shooting in Parkland the Trustees asked the Association to organize an in-depth conversation with all stakeholders in the state on the topic of school safety. Mr. Groden said they now have commitments from 20 organizations and associations to participate in a summit in Columbus this summer on appropriate and effective ways to increase school safety. He said it is important because there needs to be diverse, but unified, voices to stand up and say our schools need to be safe. Mr. Groden says this is why considering Resolution 2018-37 is appreciated.
