Teachers should be armed and trained says a new report<\/a> published by a Florida commission examining the mass killing at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.<\/p>\n

Under existing law certain staffers, including resource officers, librarians and administrators can carry concealed in schools. By a vote 13 to 1, the commission would like the Legislature to expand that law to cover teachers provided they undergo the required training and pass a background check.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the ideal world, we shouldn\u2019t need anyone on campus with a gun, but that\u2019s not the world we live in today,\u201d Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, a member of the commission, told the Sun-Sentinel<\/a>. “One\u2019s not enough. Two\u2019s not enough. We need multiple people in order to protect the children.”<\/p>\n

The commission is composed of law enforcement officers, public officials,\u00a0and parents of slain students.<\/p>\n

The sole dissenting vote against arming teachers came from Max Schacter. The father of one of the Parkland victims, Mr. Schacter said there ought to be alternatives to firearms like hallway smoke cannons that would lower visibility for a would-be killer.<\/p>\n

Congressman Ted Deutch who represents Parkland was not part of the commission be he also bristled at the proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeachers want to teach, not be armed for combat in their classrooms,\u201d the Democratic said to the Sun-Sentinel. \u201cLaw enforcement cannot push their responsibilities to make our communities safer on to civilians that should be focused on educating their students.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other measures to harden schools like metal detectors and bulletproof glass were referred to the Florida Department of Education\u2019s Office of Safe Schools do the high cost associated with implementation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of this stuff is going to be so expensive it\u2019s unrealistic,\u201d said commission member Mike Carroll, who also served as secretary of the Florida Department of Children. \u201cBut there\u2019s some stuff in here that we really would encourage all schools to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from arming teachers, other recommendations include getting schools to create specific plans and drills to address \u201cCode Red\u201d or active shooter situations, encouraging law enforcement to draft policies that make it explicitly clear that their job is to confront the killer<\/a> and calling on agencies at the local, state and federal level to improve communications as it relates to troubled individuals.<\/p>\n

The killer responsible for Parkland had 69 documented incidents where he \u201cthreatened someone, engaged in violence, talked about guns or other weapons or engaged in other concerning behavior, according to the report.\u201d<\/p>\n

The commission did not recommend any form of gun control. And it plans to present a final version of the 407-page report to the Legislature and the governor by Jan. 1.<\/p>\n
