Last week's Florida shooting has prompted conversations about student safety across the United States.

This week, White House staff invited Orange County Legislator James O'Donnell to share his strategy with President Donald Trump and others. The roundtable included a number of Cabinet and state officials. 

"They understood my background as the Chief of Police of the MTA," O'Donnell said. " 'See something, say something' was rolled out after 9/11 while I was the chief of police there. My extensive criminal justice background was a perfect fit to be there."

O'Donnell, a Republican, says there were some options like metal detectors on site, or a national hotline concerned people can call. But some strategies are already in place locally. O'Donnell says $250,000 is set aside in the county budget for interested schools to connect their cameras to the 911 system.

Sheriff Carl DuBois backs the State Sheriff's Association's call to fund an armed school resource officer at every New York school. 

"Placing SROs in our schools would provide a solution to protect precious lives and interrupt criminals who want to commit acts of violence,” DuBois said in a statement.

It's a move O'Donnell says he would consider, and it was brought up at the White House meeting. 

"As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to child safety, everything is on the table. Everything is worthy of discussion," O'Donnell said, also noting the Florida attorney general's idea to create a phone app that would let students anonymously forward threatening messages or social media posts they may see to the police.
