School Employees from Acting as Armed Guards


Attorney universal issued estimation on Tuesday stating that school districts cannot act as confidential safety companies, arming their employees with guns.

General's office if schools could act as their own confidential security companies, arming teachers, principals, school bus drivers and other district employees with guns.

The view states that the part of Arkansas Code in question does not approve schools to act as confidential entities, saying "Simply put, the Code in my estimation does not approve moreover licensing a school district as a guard company or classifying it as a confidential business endorsed to employ its own teachers as armed guards."

Wilkins also asked if laws were in place restricting school district employees from carrying guns on campus, and if they could run away action if caught violating those laws, responds, "...numerous statutes would appear appropriate to exclude 'teachers, bus drivers, and others from carrying firearms on school grounds.'"

The estimation advises that changes in these laws can only be made throughout the legislative conference, stating, "the universal meeting would be the correct being to preserve, repeal or adjust the existing laws prohibiting school employees from carrying firearms on school possessions, such power not residing with the Arkansas Board of Private Investigators and Confidential Security Agencies."
