OKLAHOMA CITY — State leaders on Wednesday identified members of a new commission that will evaluate school safety statewide in the wake of the elementary school massacre last month in Connecticut.

Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb will lead the nonpartisan Oklahoma Commission on School Security. Lamb is a former Secret Service agent.

“Our children deserve safe and secure learning environments, and this commission is committed to doing just that,” Lamb said in a statement. “Each commission member brings experience from their respective field that will generate ideas and solutions to enhance school security.”

The group will meet for the Jan. 22 at the state Capitol. For more information or to submit ideas, call Lamb’s office at (405) 521-2161.
