A new state legislative committee will consider arming North Carolina teachers in the aftermath of last week’s mass school shooting in Florida.
House Speaker Tim Moore announced Tuesday that he’s forming a new school safety committee that will be charged with developing recommendations for how to improve safety in the state’s schools. During a press conference Tuesday in Shelby, Moore said the committee will look at a myriad of issues, with arming teachers as a possibility after getting feedback from school districts and law enforcement.
