Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones called for armed personnel in schools and praised Edgewood’s new policy as a deterrent to violence. The Edgewood board requires training authorization, a concealed carry license, and in some cases peace officer credentials, with funds paid by the administrator. More districts reportedly show interest as Ohio districts seek greater school security following the Sandy Hook shootings.
