Washoe County School Board Says No To Arming Teachers

In the wake of deadly school shootings this year, the Washoe County School Board made its intentions clear Tuesday not to arm its teachers or school staff.

The school board passed a resolution saying the arming of educators is incompatible with the district’s mission of educating students in a safe and secure environment. 

The resolution also calls on Nevada legislators to increase funding for school safety and for more school police officers.
