States like Georgia have brought policy change allowing schools to arm teachers. However, ramifications of unforeseen costs and possible legal issues this could bring are still unclear. Since no school that out has openly armed their faculty and/or staff has been in an active shooter situation it is unclear whether this policy is effective. However, there have been injuries and damage to property caused by the accidental discharge of weapons in these situations (Arlinda Smith Broady, 2018). This brief looks at the legality and ramifications of arming public school teachers. What legal matters must be addressed? What is a reasonable standard of safety? What costs, financial and otherwise, will be incurred? How will this effect education directly or indirectly?
