Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on the state's massive investment in school safety that will aim to prevent threats and how the state will allocate the funding

..We allocated $100 million to school safety, $80 million of that really works towards prevention. And so what we'll make available is vulnerability threat assessments and will be able to provide for every school building in the state of Iowa. If they haven't done it or if they want to update it, a vulnerability assessment by a contractor. We’ll work with Homeland Security and the Department of Public Safety.

And once they have completed that threat assessment for vulnerabilities, then we have set up a fund that will allocate $50,000 towards each building to implement what those recommendations were.We're also going to provide technology and tools to provide training and to train the trainers so that local governments will be able to be trained in how to respond to an active shooter or natural disasters.
