School Staff Armed for Safety Debate
Description
School staff in Alaska’s Mat-Su Borough could soon carry concealed weapons on campus, sparking fierce debate among parents. While some, like former Marine James Majetich, fear teachers aren’t trained for deadly force, others like school shooting survivor Sara Williams see armed personnel as vital for student safety. The district requires strict vetting, training, and permits, with a hefty price tag—over $696K upfront and $562K annually. Both sides agree: real safety must also tackle mental health, not just security.
