TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Legislation designed to make Kansas schools safer from gun violence has passed a House committee.

The bill endorsed by the Appropriations Committee on Monday would require schools and state agencies to establish guidelines for fortifying schools against armed threats. It also would provide $5 million for safety measures like metal detectors and hardened glass.

The House will consider the bill next.

Kansas education lobbyists called the bill inadequate during a Friday hearing.

Kansas National Education Association lobbyist Mark Desetti said that $5 million is not enough to secure the state’s nearly 1,600 schools.

The committee amended the bill Monday so that school districts must match any funding provided to them from the $5 million.

Republican Rep. Brenda Landwehr of Wichita proposed the amendment and said it would essentially double funding.
