He was on Up Front, and he hopes to help students with mental health issues. He believes mental health is a small factor in violence, but kids have traumatic experiences. He says the state needs to take steps to help them.
The governor doesn’t plan to call a special session to consider any proposals.
A 16-year-old student at Oshkosh West High School is accused of stabbing a school police officer last Tuesday. Police say Officer Mike Wissink then shot the boy.
