The Ohio building standards board certified rules allowing barricade devices in active shooter cases. The Ohio Disability Rights Law and Policy Center says locks must be usable by people with disabilities under the ADA, creating potential discrimination risks for staff unable to operate devices. The rules take effect in 10 days as districts, parents, and manufacturers push for security measures following past school shootings.
