Talks Continue About Arming Brevard School Staff

The discussion around arming Brevard District School staff continues, following an initiative proposed last year. Last week, the school district reached out to employees via email to gauge interest in volunteering for the guardian program, emphasizing that guardians would not act as law enforcement but would assist if needed. The program, part of Florida’s guardian program, would involve trained volunteers and non-classroom staff members, aiming to enhance campus security on large school campuses. Budgeting, funding, and training logistics are still under consideration.
