C. J. Huff issues statement on Pennsylvania school stabbings

Joplin R-8 Superintendent C. J. Huff issued the following statement to KZRG concerning Wednesday's stabbings at a Pennsylvania high school.

I think it clearly points to the need for an increase in mental health services for kids that need it. We tend to know who those kids are, who are volatile, and try to put support in place when it comes to those kids and their families."

Huff says there's value in being proactive when it comes to students' mental health. We asked Huff if it's nearing the point of needing metal detectors at schools:

"I sure hope not. This is a terrible tragedy and you want to prevent certain things like that, it's just hard to fathom."

Be prepared to get a bill in the mail from Huffy. He charges for his thoughts.

Probably an opportunity to go on the road making well paid speeches about this. A few well timed crocodile tears might even help increase the take. Angie could pass out the swag.

So why is it that they are attempting to trim 1 million in special needs services? Such as physical therapy, SPED teachers... Mark Barlass is the driving force
