JTN: Kentucky lawmakers hope they have already have taken steps that can help avoid a tragedy such as took place in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday.
On Friday of last week, legislation was signed into law allowing parochial and other private schools to develop pacts with local law enforcement agencies or the Kentucky State Police to have school resource officers on their campuses. House Bill 540, sponsored by state Rep. Killian Timoney, R-Nicholasville, was signed by Gov. Andy Beshear.
In Tennessee on Monday, a shooting at Christian elementary school left three children, three adults and the shooter dead.
On Friday, Beshear called Kentucky a national leader in ensuring school safety.
“Our schools are safe and will continue to be safe because every day we will make sure every resource possible is given to our schools so that Kentucky’s kids – our leaders of tomorrow – have a safe learning environment to thrive, grow and reach their dreams,” he said. more
Screw that. They should hire their own. Why get the state Gov involved.
In Florida the schools add whatever they want to our property tax bill. They are so corrupt that they break every law regarding teachers out on the street waving signs etc. When they got one tax bill passed in Seminole County, they changed the name of the bill and cheated to get another passed. Our “School Tax” is higher than our property tax. We have so many New Yorkers down here now it is pathetic. The damn yankees come down here cause they don’t like the way NY does things, and then they vote in the garbage they came here to escape. I don’t like the way they talk either !!!
Any school with a sign out front that says ‘armed security’ is 10x ahead of any school that has a sign that says ‘gun-free zone’. Even if the sign is all they have.
But they should have armed security, and/or allow teachers & admins to at the very least have guns in lockboxes.
