March 5, 2024 - The Kentucky Senate Says Schools Should be Able to Hire Armed Guards to Protect Kids

The Kentucky Senate says schools should be able to hire armed guards to protect kids. Senate Bill 2 would let school districts hire retired law enforcement and military veterans to carry a gun and respond to potential school shootings.
Proponents say this bill fills a gap in school resource officers while opponents question the liabilities guards and school districts might face.
