<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As schools across the country grapple with how to prepare for the next active shooter, one school district in Colorado has taken armed teachers off the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local media reports<\/a> that the Douglas County School District has asked one of its character schools to leave the district because it allows teachers to be trained and armed on school grounds. If the school and the district can\u2019t come to an exit agreement, the district has threatened to close the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will fight tooth and nail if any school, whether it is a\nneighborhood school or a charter school, that decides to arm its teachers,\u201d\nsaid school board superintendent Dr. Thomas Tucker at a hearing. \u201cIf it\u2019s a\ncharter school, we are going to ask that they leave the Douglas County School\nDistrict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school, Ascent Classical Academy, is the only school in\nthe district to implement a program that allows teachers to be armed. They\nrequired teachers to possess a concealed carry license, volunteer to\nparticipate, pass an assessment, and complete a course from the Ohio-based\nFASTER Saves Lives training program.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot of training that our staff go through,\u201d Derec Shuler, Ascent\u2019s executive director, told local media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spoke<\/a> with FASTER Saves Lives director Joe Eaton last year, and he explained that the 26-hour course requires a higher standard of firearm proficiency than some police departments. FASTER students also receive training on how to move safely from an area of danger, how to move people to an area of safety, and how to deal with large chaotic crowds. They receive a large block of trauma casualty care as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shuler says parents overwhelmingly support the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt makes me feel confident, dropping off my kids at school\nand being able to walk away and know that somebody is there that\u2019s trained,\nwell trained,\u201d mother Rachel Graham told local media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with many small schools, Ascent couldn\u2019t afford to hire a\nfull-time resource officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really a question of cost. These are just really not\noptions that are affordable to us as a smaller school,\u201d Shuler said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shuler\u2019s school isn\u2019t the only Colorado charter school\ntaking advantage of FASTER training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheena Mc Ouat wants to open a charter school just north of\nDenver, and she participated in a recent FASTER course in Adams County,\nColorado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNot being prepared is not an option,\u201d she told Fox 31<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve been in education for 19 years and when I sat down to develop this school, I had to think about our safety plan, and the fact that there could be a shooter, there was no other option than to be prepared in multiple ways including to stop the threat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While charter and private schools often have the flexibility\nand independence to develop armed teacher programs, many public school\ndistricts have been more hesitant. One of Eaton\u2019s greatest frustrations are\nschool administrators who refuse to treat violence like any other health\nemergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe thing that aggravates me talking to schools is that it\nseems that violence is the only emergency that they\u2019re comfortable saying\nthey\u2019ll wait on outside help,\u201d he told GunsAmerica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI tell them, if you\u2019ve got a kid that falls in a swimming pool and drowns, you don\u2019t simply call 911 and wait for the ambulance to show up. You jump in the pool, you pull the kid out, you start CPR, and then when the professionals get there you have a patient to transfer to them instead of a victim. Violence has to be the same exact way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
