Johnny Hatcher doesn’t officially take his school board seat until January, but he’s strongly against putting guns in schools.
“Let the police handle the policing. We handle the educating,” Hatcher said. “At the end of the day this is a public safety matter.”Hatcher feels there’s a different way to keep them safe.
“I’m against it. And the reason I’m against it is if you take and have an armed resource officer in the school and he’s walking through or whatever, a fight breaks out, he has to get involved,” Hatcher explained. “Then that gun’s in play. That can become a very bad situation.” In the wake of the Uvalde, Texas school shooting in May that left 19 students and two teachers dead, Hatcher says students should never be afraid to go to school.“There’s a better way. How bout we look at Baldwin County and how they do it,” Hatcher said. “They have a uniformed licensed deputy or officer, depending on the area outside the schools, and it’s no better deterrent than that.”One of those is District 2 School Board Member Don Stringfellow.
“It’s something that I supported for some time ago and I still support the idea,” Stringfellow said. “But it’s part in parcel of the whole comprehensive security plan. And we’re looking forward to the superintendent coming back making a recommendation to us.”The superintendent and other school personnel are waiting on more recommendations.Download the FOX10 Weather App. Get life-saving severe weather warnings and alerts for your location no matter where you are.
