EdSource Today: Gun safety courses offered to elementary teachers in Galt

By 

In a new twist to professional development in a post-Sandy Hook world, some teachers in the Galt Joint Union Elementary School District will not only be learning Common Core state standards and classroom management, but also how to handle a gun.

“We have a small-town feel here, so we could all relate to what happened at Sandy Hook,” said Superintendent Karen Schauer of the Dec. 14 shooting of 20 elementary school students and six teachers and administrators in Newtown, Conn. Galt, which has about 24,000 residents, is located 20 miles south of Sacramento along Highway 99, adjacent to the Consumnes River Preserve. The district serves about 3,900 K-8 students.
