(Radio Iowa) — Governor Kim Reynolds is asking legislators to provide two-MILLION dollars for creation of a new “School Safety Bureau” in the Iowa Department of Public Safety. “This is the next step that we can take in really being prepared and making sure that we’re training, reporting and investigating in a proper manner,” she says, “to do everything that we can to keep our kids safe.”

Officials are investigating apps and other tools that let students anonymously report concerns and threatening behavior.
