School officials and Madison County Sheriff Buddy Harwood have placed one semiautomatic rifle in each of the county's six schools.
The idea of having AR-15s in schools does not sit well with Dorothy Espelage, a UNC Chapel Hill professor in the School of Education who has conducted decades of study and research on school safety and student well-being.WLOS-TV. Just the presence of an SRO increases violence in the schools. There's more arrests of kids. Why is it that they have to have these AR-15s? It doesn't make any sense.
Harwood said the county's school resource officers have been training with instructors from Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College. "We'll have those tools to be able to breach that door if needed. I do not want to have to run back out to the car to grab an AR, because that's time lost. Hopefully we'll never need it, but I want my guys to be as prepared as prepared can be," he said.Schools are scheduled to reopen Aug. 22, according to the Madison County Schools website.
