Bill Clinton Pledges Funds to Add Police to Schools Posted by Jammie on Dec 21, 2012 at 3:12 pm For all the derision from the media today about the NRA suggesting there should be police on guard at schools, where was the mockery in 1999? Marking the first anniversary of the shooting deaths at Columbine High School, President Clinton announced $120 million in new federal grants Saturday to place more police officers in schools and help even the youngest kids cope with their problems. “In our national struggle against youth violence we must not fail our children; our future depends on it,” the president said in his weekly radio address. Yet today a major teacher’s union announced opposition to protecting children from would-be killers. articles.latimes.com Clinton Pledges Funds to Add Police to Schools April 16, 2000\|LAWRENCE L. KNUTSON \| ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON — Marking the first anniversary of the shooting deaths at Columbine High School, President Clinton announced $120 million in new federal grants Saturday to place more police officers in schools and help even the youngest kids cope with their problems. "In our national struggle against youth violence we must not fail our children; our future depends on it," the president said in his weekly radio address. Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for "COPS in School," a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities. "Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need," Clinton said.
