The Fredericksburg ISD board OK'd the plan as an option for teachers who already have a concealed carry permit and undergo a screening process.
Fredericksburg Independent School District officials have approved a program that could allow some teachers to carry concealed firearms at school, with a district spokesperson saying the plan could provide an additional layer of campus security. Fredericksburg ISD trustees voted last month to authorize district teachers to apply to carry concealed firearms in classrooms, if they meet certain criteria and pass a screening process.
South San ISD will have school marshals this fall — but they won’t be teachers “The main reason that we wanted to start allowing teachers or staff to apply to carry firearms is the safety and security of our staff and students,” district spokesperson Rachel Malinak told the Express-News. “It is our main priority.” Fredericksburg ISD has one school resource officer — a law enforcement officer working at a school— covering the district's six campuses and 3,000 students.
