Perry-Lecompton teachers urge tougher gun policy at school
Perry-Lecompton Teachers Association warns lax discipline after a student brought a gun to Perry-Lecompton High School last month. The incident involved a gun found in a vehicle and shells inside the building, with the student suspended for the semester but allowed to finish courses at home. Teachers say the punishment is too lenient, may conflict with state and federal law requiring expulsion for gun incidents, and seek a formal legal opinion while stressing student safety and strong consequences to deter such acts.
