Statewide School Security: Governor's Perspective
Governor Ron DeSantis has stated that there is no need for a statewide school security mandate, asserting that local school districts should handle their own security requirements. He believes that imposing a uniform rule could be seen as an interruption in local autonomy.
What's at Stake?
With increasing discussions around safety in schools, various districts may explore options such as:
- Metal detectors
- Gun-sniffing K-9 units
- Increased resource officer presence
This approach aims to balance local decision-making with rising safety needs in educational environments.
