DENTON (WBAP/KLIF) – Denton ISD Officials approved to let current employees who are authorized law enforcement or have training in law enforcement, carry concealed firearms while on school property.
Denton Superintendent Jamie Wilson said the school board approved this policy to increase the safety and security of students. “This was not a decision we made lightly,” Wilson said.
All eligible employees must maintain their current certifications with the Texas Commission of Law Enforcement and undergo the same mandatory training as the District’s School Resource Officers.
Current employees that meet the criteria are eligible to utilize the policy, but they would not receive extra pay. The district would cover the cost of their training and assist with their certifications.
