Bids Sought For Safety Audits
WEST VIRGINIA....
Senator Erik Wells, a Kanawha County Democrat, is raising questions about planned West Virginia safety audits of hundreds of schools across the state. Wells is wondering why the state is seeking bids for what could be a $5 million job when it has set aside money to do the work itself. Wells says he wonders if state officials are fishing for ideas from the companies on how to do the work. The audits were inspired by the mass killings at Virginia Tech and Columbine and are intended to assist police who respond to similar situations. The winner of the bid is expected to be announced by October 1st.
