Rep. Jon Hoadley, from the 60th District, offered the following invocation:
“Dear Lord, in a chamber that often hears grand words of praise, I offer a simple prayer of forgiveness.
For when my actions did not live up to my intentions
When my words were not kind
When my failure to act caused pain or the actions I took caused others to suffer
When my intentions and my impact did not align
When I did not listen to understand, but rather just listened to respond
When I was not the best partner, friend, son, uncle, or brother that I could be
I ask forgiveness.
As we begin another day of work for the people of Michigan and our communities, I ask for Your guidance to be better, to treat others as we would want to be treated, and look for the best in all of our brothers and sisters.
In Your name,
Amen.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Richard D. Snyder, Governor of the state of Michigan, by virtue of the power and authority vested in the Governor by the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, order the following:
I. CREATION OF THE SCHOOL SAFETY TASK FORCE
A. The School Safety Task Force (the “Task Force”) is created as an advisory body within the Department of State Police.
B. The Governor shall appoint six (6) members to the Task Force, serving at the pleasure of the Governor as follows:

• One (1) member submitted by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives;
• One (1) member submitted by the Senate Majority Leader; and

II. CHARGE TO THE TASK FORCE
A. The Task Force shall act in an advisory capacity to the Governor, the Department of State Police, and the state of Michigan and shall do all of the following:
1. Analyze top performing states to determine how their law enforcement, school officials, and public health experts collaborate on providing preventative policies and services to create safe and secure learning environments for schools.
2. Based on this analysis of top performing states, identify the structural and policy recommendations for collaboration, planning, and regular assessment of school infrastructure and safety policies, including distinct geographic and demographic variances where appropriate.
3. Review and update Michigan’s All-Hazards Emergency Operations Planning Guidance for Schools to account for lessons learned from recent violent incidents and best practices and create a comprehensive School Safety Plan to include behavioral health components.
4. Identify components for the creation of a positive recognition program for best practices in school safety to include assessment and auditing functions for school buildings. This program should include, at a minimum, recommendations for comprehensive school safety policies, the identification of a behavioral health assessment person or team of people, a mechanism for students to anonymously report suspicious behavior, and other policy components a safe school should have in place that include both the response to an emergency and the prevention of such emergencies, as well as recommendations for basic physical safety structures in school buildings, taking into account local funding mechanisms, and a structure for regular assessments of school buildings, plans, policies, and procedures for recognition.
5. Advise on the role of behavioral and mental health assessments in school safety plans and procedures, review and advise on the implementation of the Pathways to Potential program and other similar programs and provide recommendations on increasing the role and collaboration between school violence prevention and behavioral health in schools. Also advise on recommended methods and alternatives to current student disciplinary actions such as school expulsion or judicial intervention.
6. Develop a tiered school safety curriculum standard for those individuals acting in a School Resource Officer or similar role at any Michigan school. The curriculum should include a tiered approach for different levels of School Resource Officers serving in varying capacities, such as those that serve on a part-time basis, full-time basis, or those that carry weapons. Identify potential sources of training, including MCOLES, vocational schools or community colleges, as well as mechanisms for ongoing training, consistency and quality control, and length of certification.
7. Develop methods to incentivize and encourage joint evaluation and planning of school safety needs between law enforcement, school administrators, local public health, and other impacted stakeholders. In addition, identify mechanisms for state and local cooperation and collaboration to share best practices on planning, evaluations, and improvements for longer term planning with higher education institutions and state departments.
8. Provide other information or advice as directed by the Governor.
9. No later than November 30, 2018, complete its work and issue a final report to the Governor and legislature.
