This probably is the worst legislation dealing with school safety ever written. I am assuming now law enforcement professional or teach was consulted about this bill. This bill puts our children and our teachers lives at risk. It makes no sense and should not be supported by any decent human being.

I am with Virginia Moms for Change and oppose this bill.

I am a member of Virginia Moms for Change - a gun violence prevention organization. I support HB498 and oppose: HB222 & HB676. Please do something to prevent innocent children from dying just so people think they have the right to hunt at a moments notice.

I am a volunteer with Virginia Moms for Change, and I oppose this bill.

I expect Virginia public schools to be staffed by qualified, competent individuals. Prohibiting the establishment of minimum employment qualifications for school resource officers is a dangerous idea that could lead to misconduct and mistakes made due to inexperience.

Our children deserve to be taken care of at licensed institutions and by those who have proper employment requirements.
