Iowa school district to allow some teachers to carry guns on campus

An Iowa school district approved a measure allowing some staff members to carry firearms on campus. "No one wants guns in school, but we want bad guys with a gun even less," Cherokee Schools Superintendent Kim Lingenfelter said, according to KCRG.

"And the board has taken a very measured and serious approach to the challenge of keeping students safe and staff."
 

Cherokee is the second school district in the state to pass a measure allowing some teachers and other staff to carry firearms following the devastating mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which left 19 students and two teachers dead. The Spirit Lake School Board voted in August to allow 10 staff members to carry firearms.
