State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson wants to reassure parents who wonder if what happened in Newtown could happen to them.

Torlakson: "I believe our California schools are safe."

He says the vast majority of schools carefully craft safety plans - working with teachers, staff and local law enforcement agencies.

Torlakson: "There's a lot of nervous parents out there.  That's natural, after a tragedy like this.  I think the good news is that administrators across the state are re-looking at their plans."

But not all schools have filed those plans so they're not available to the public - and one state lawmaker says that is not good enough.  He plans to reintroduce stalled legislation from last year that would withhold state funds from schools that fail to comply.
