Cobb County Superintendent Chris Ragsdale told board members before the vote that the district only has 67 officers currently for its 114 schools, and that competition to hire police officers is intense.
"I am not in favor of arming teachers. However I am in favor of investigating all options so we could hire retired military, retired law enforcement," Ragsdale said. "On a need to know basis, everyone who needs to know who these individuals are is going to know who they are," Ragsdale said.But opponents weren't persuaded.Among their comments:"And now we put out there something that I think will accelerate the division between this school board and Black parents."
Cobb's school board is sharply split, with four white Republicans and three Black Democrats. One of those Democrats, Jaha Howard, said there was no proof the plan would work
So are they going to be armed with AR15? This is ridiculous. More guns is not the answer.
More guns is NOT the answer here!
The role of a teacher has now changed from teaching children to shooting intruders. A background check of the prospective buyer and gun registration would address a fundamental issue too. It should not be selectively done.
Very sad that this is the solution chosen ! I hope parents are creating their own schools.
So dumb.
In the old west frontier towns the sheriffs took away guns to avert firearm deaths… in 2022 america we hand out more guns… yikes!
Uvalde already showed that the 'good guys with guns' aren't going to do anything. What a disappointing country we live in. Truly
Because the 'good guy with a gun' has a stellar track record up to this point in school shootings. JFC they want to kill every kid at this point.
No money for pencils. Money for bullets. No money for markers. Money for guns. No money for ventilation. Money for vests. No money for lunches. Money for shooter drills. No money for buses. Money for policegang on site. USA is a shithole.
Our pilots are armed if they do a specific course and rightfully so... Same should be true for teachers. They should be allowed but take a course every year. Why not
