After yet another school shooting, Arizona School Superintendent Tom Horne was asked what could be done to prevent similar acts of violence.
In an appearance on PBS’ "Arizona Horizon," Horne reiterated his support for placing police officers in every school in the state.
He also highlighted the need for more funding overall, including for staff like school counselors.
“I would like the overall school safety funding which includes both counselors and policemen to be increased. But we were able to maintain all the school counselors that had gotten grants before and we were able to meet every request that we got from a school for a school resource officer," he said.
A shooting at a Georgia high school on Wednesday took the lives of four people, two teachers and two students, and injured at least nine others.
