A school district in Utah has given teachers a preliminary OK to carry weapons while on the job.

The Jordan School Board gave preliminary approval Tuesday to a policy outlining the conditions under which district employees may carry a concealed weapon on school property with a valid permit.

Employees must keep the weapon concealed and employees who legally use a concealed weapon on school grounds do so in their individual capacities, not their scope of employment.

I'm all for this. However, with family members working in public schools, I'd hope that the administration would know who has the ability to carry on campus. If this was widely adopted I think news stories about massive school shootings by deranged kids would be a thing of the past.
