Legislation under consideration in Indiana would require all public and charter schools to have a trained, armed “school protection officer” on the school’s premises during regular school hours. If adopted, the legislation (Ind. S.B. 1, as amended, Apr. 2, 2013) would be the first in the nation to require armed employees in schools. The proposed legislation does not apply to private schools.
