Ark. Lawmakers File Bills to Shield School Security Info
Sen. Gary Stubblefield of Branch has filed a pair of bills to exempt the security plans of K-12 schools and higher education campuses. Proponents say the information could be utilized to harm students or staff, but open government activists say transparency lets parents know if existing plans are any good.
Another proposed change would hide most state employees' personnel files two months after they leave their job. Only limited information such as names, titles, employment dates and commendations would be fit for release.
