STATE SENATOR FROM YORK’S BILL WOULD AUTHORIZE ARMED SECURITY IN PA. SCHOOLS

Republican state Senator Mike Regan from York is proposing new legislation to require schools to hire armed security guards.  Senate Bill 907 would require personnel at every school during school hours.  Regan says his bill would make sure they have vigorous training and certification requirements, such as lethal weapons training and how to interact with students. The measure would also allow schools to place armed personnel at extracurricular events outside of normal school hours. The idea would cost between 100-and-200-million-dollars to fund.
