Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned President Trump's decision to dismantle the DHS School Safety Board, which was established post-Parkland shooting to enhance school security. Schumer argues that this action likely breaches the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, emphasizing the board's critical role in preventing school shootings. With 330 school shootings reported last year, the board's work, which involved a diverse group of experts and advocates, was seen as vital in identifying effective safety strategies. Schumer appealed for the board's immediate reinstatement, challenging the administration's capitulation to the gun lobby.
The DHS School Safety Board was made permanent through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act in 2022 and was essential for preventing school shootings.
Schumer criticized Trump's decision to disband the board, asserting it violates the law and undermines efforts to enhance school safety.
