Ohio governor to sign bill allowing armed school employees

Erin Gabbard, an opponent of GOP legislation that would permit Ohio school districts to arm employees by creating training standards, testifies against the latest version of the bill on Tuesday, May 31, 2022, in Columbus, Ohio. Gabbard was one of the parents at Madison local schools in southwestern Ohio who successfully sued in 2018 over the district's training requirements, arguing they should be much higher.
