DeWine signs gun bill to arm some school employees
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed a law allowing districts to arm select school employees with up to 24 hours of initial training and eight hours of annual refreshers. Training must be approved by the Ohio School Safety Center which will require maximum hours. The measure accompanies $100 million for school security upgrades and $1.2 billion wellness funding, with optional armed staff rather than a mandate. Mayors from major cities criticized the bill, urging universal background checks and other gun-control steps.
