Keller ISD trustees approved late Monday night a safety plan that would allow employees to carry guns on campuses.
“We’re already so scared after here about the news of Uvalde and all the school shootings that have been happening lately,” she said. “But now when you put so many weapons into the mix and you put them directly into the classroom, it feels like school just isn’t a safe place to return to anymore.”“I have full respect for guns and second amendment rights, and if that’s the best route to go to defend the kids in the classroom I think it should definitely be explored,” said Linn.
School safety and risk management have been an ongoing discussion for Keller ISD over the last six months. They’ve increased the number of school resource officers on campus, and they’ve had numerous safety workshops. During the board meeting, the idea of “layered” security came up a lot. The argument from board members in support of the policy is that having armed employees on campus adds a layer while law enforcement is on the way.For more information, visit the city's public meeting agenda link
