LANSING, MI (AP)— In the four years since the deadly shooting at Oxford High School, Michigan districts have received millions in state funds for safety and mental health services.
But this year there’s a big catch: To get the funding, districts must agree to waive their attorney-client privileges and comply with any state investigation if a mass-casualty event occurs on campus.
The new requirement has left districts with a tough choice: Take the money or opt out to protect their legal rights.
Some school district groups say the law is vague and they are asking lawmakers to change the language, but it's unclear if any changes will be made.
