[QUOTE="hrdware, post: 2095583, member: 24475"] HB1062 passed out of committee today and will now be eligible to be placed on the calendar for the full house. Even if this bill passes and gets the governors signature, it requires local school districts to create policies to allow teachers and administrators to carry firearms. Here are some key points from the hearing: School districts would have to work with a local police department or a local sheriffs department to send teachers to CLEET to get training. This would mean teachers and administrators would be reserve officers and be somewhat like a school district police force. Superintendents seem to not be in support of this but teachers and parents are. Many schools are hiring off duty police officers and are assuming the liability for the off duty officers. Schools should assume the liability for CLEET certified teachers as well. This is not an all or nothing bill, it would give school districts the ability to implement if they wanted, but they are not required to do so. School districts can make the best plan they think will work for them. Local school districts would pay for the CLEET certifications. There is a background check to get into CLEET and districts could also set their own policy on who could go. Superintendent of Wagoner schools spoke and did not support this idea. There have only been 3 school shootings in OK. One was outside the school and was targeted at an individual, the other 2 were suicides. Thinks LEO should take care of this and thinks there will be more accidental discharges so the risk does not benefit the reward. Also wonders if a teacher could shoot a student they had developed a bond with. An under sheriff from Tulsa spoke about their reserve program. He supports the bill and said they have a few teachers in their reserve force. Many active shooter scenarios involve a team response, but if you are the only officer there than, "some days it just sucks to be a cop". [/QUOTE]
