Education Week: Survey: Teachers Feel Safe at School; Decline Carrying Guns

While state lawmakers and some school districts have their sights set on arming school employees, a new survey of nearly 11,000 educators finds that the majority of them don’t have any interest in packing heat in class.

The survey results, released Wednesday by the professional development company School Improvement Network, found that about 72 percent of teachers and administrators said they would be unlikely to bring a firearm to school even if they were allowed to do so. And of those who already own weapons, nearly 40 percent would choose not to bring them to class if they could.
