Bird Celebrates Ohio School Safety Month

COLUMBUS—State Representative Adam Bird (R-New Richmond) has issued the following statement on the first annual Ohio School Safety Month:

“Earlier this year, Representative Jones and I introduced House Bill 583, which designated October as Ohio School Safety Month. We did so with the intent of spreading awareness for safety programs in schools, inevitably keeping Ohio’s children safe.

“No parent should feel afraid to send their child to school. We must do our part in uplifting and educating not only our teachers, but parents and children as well. School is a place for children to learn and grow, and I am proud that we have taken steps to bring awareness to the need to increase the safety and security of these environments.”

The representative’s statement comes after House Bill 583 became effective at the end of September.
