commitments in terms of setting guidelines and setting what she would and would not look at. she said she was open to taking a look at everything. there --port they did, it is a 170 seven page report that makes nearly 100 recommendations. there's often in debate about whether this report should have touched on firearms and gun laws. it does not necessarily go there. it does take a holistic view on things like mental health, how schools should be -- beef up security in terms of installing bulletproof windows and providing better perimeter security. it goes into a whole host of different recommendations for a school district. host: what was the justification for not specifically looking at gun issues? guest: this is a political debate, and they said they wanted to focus specifically on

recommendations are just that -- recommendations. requirements that school districts need to put in place. these are 100 different recommendations that the administration would like school district to consider in concert with state legislators, governors. every decision that the school makes is going to be coming from their local, unique perspective, and not every recommendation is going to work for every school district. host: you talked about what the report said about gun violence. it also talked about discipline in school. what was found? guest: this was not a surprise. the report includes a recommendation to repeal an obama era guideline issued in 2014 by the department of education and the department of justice.
