Jarod’s Law
Warren County Health Dept. officials have started inspecting local schools as required by Jarod’s Law, passed in 2005 and named for Jarod Bennett, a 6-year-old who was killed when a cafeteria table fell on him at Lebanon’s Louisa Wright Elementary in 2003. I spoke with Jarod’s dad, Jim, who said he is hopeful that the law will raise awareness of safety dangers in schools and prevent tragedies. The Bennetts should be commended for their efforts in getting the law passed, especially considering their reasoning for working so hard to do so. So far, only minor violations have been found in Warren County, although some schools in Butler County were not as fortunate, as my colleague Lindsey Hilty wrote recently. Were you affected by this tragedy, or anything related to school safety, that you would like to share? What should school districts be doing to provide safer schools for students?
