Texas school to allow teachers to carry guns

A Texas school board passed a policy Monday that will allow educators to carry guns within the school district.

The Keller ISD school board voted 4-3 to adopt a state recommended “guardian” program, which allows approved faculty who undergo 50 hours of training to carry a handgun on campus. Educators who wish to carry on school campuses must also have a License To Carry and pass a psychological evaluation as a part of the “guardian” program.

“More than likely it’s probably going to be 10 to 15 minutes before police arrive,” Micah Young, Keller ISD School Board Member, said. “At what point do we put the opportunity into our favor?”
