Gov. Charlie Baker will request $40 million in legislative funding to beef up school security measures and emergency response training for school officials.

Governor Charlie Baker announces a 30-day MBTA Orange Line shutdown beginning on August 19, 2022, in order to make sweeping maintenance improvements, at a press conference at the Wellington train yard in Medford.

He acknowledged the ongoing training programs between local law enforcement, state police and local school districts, but specifically referenced the May 24 school shooting in Uvalde — in which a gunman killed 19 children, two teachers and wounded many more — as precipitating the need to"finance additional initiatives" to help protect school communities.

"Our goal over this period of time has not been to just provide more security, infrastructure and technology support, but also to assure that schools and communities have the tools and resources that are necessary to spot signs of trouble before there is trouble," he said.
