At least seven school corporations in Indiana are in the process of setting up secret “armed response teams” that train staff on the use of deadly force and allow teachers access to firearms locked up in biometric safes.
“The reality is, if you’ve got somebody who’s entered your facility with the intent to do harm, or even kill, as heavy as that is, we want to make sure that they’re met with resistance,” Randolph Central School Corp. Superintendent Rolland Abraham said.
Randolph Central is one of the school corporations that approved plans this month to create armed response teams in five district school buildings.
