A school security funding bill is expected to be taken up this week in the U.S. House, and Central Illinois Congressman Rodney Davis says it has a reasonable chance of passing.

Davis says local leaders can take their own safety measures, and are starting to do so.

Davis says this bill would restart an old federal program that would allow local districts to tap into federal money to provide security options for schools, such as a school resource officer.

Davis appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show.
