“The best way to defeat an attack...is to make sure the attacker never gets inside the building in the first place,” Sen. Michael Rulli said.
Taking a page from hospital code requirements, state Sen. Michael Rulli, R-Salem, plans to introduce legislation Thursday that would mandate new standards for all interior and exterior doors in the state's 3,300 school buildings.
“The best way to defeat an attack and protect our children in the classroom is to make sure the attacker never gets inside the building in the first place,” Rulli said.His bill, which is named the Ohio Childhood Safety Act, would mandate new standards for things like door materials, hinges, alarmed locks, and air-tight seals to prevent smoke fires from spreading. It would also require Ohio's fire marshals to regularly inspect these buildings and write up those not in compliance.
"In the hospitals, if a battery is not changed on an alarmed door and that inspector comes in, you get written up," Rulli said."I want schools to get on a routine where they are inspected by the fire marshalls. I want this to become second nature."
