White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Tuesday the Trump administration will reveal which policy proposals it supports on school safety by the end of the week.

President Donald Trump has floated a wide range of ideas to combat gun violence in the wake of the Florida high school shooting earlier this month, but his administration has yet to outline detailed policy remedies it believes would make schools safer.


"We expect that there will be some policy proposals that will be out by the end of the week," Sanders told reporters Tuesday.

Sanders mentioned two measures the White House supports, including the "Fix NICS" bill spearheaded by Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), which seeks to improve how states report to the federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System.

The president has tossed around numerous proposals aimed at bolstering school safety after a gunman killed 17 people and injured numerous others at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14. Trump has voiced support for arming more teachers, strengthening background checks and addressing mental health.

Sanders reiterated Tuesday that the president "still supports raising the age limit to 21 for the purchase of certain firearms." The press secretary said Monday that the measure was still under consideration but that no "final determination" had been made on specific policy proposals.
