Lincoln High School Superintendent Talks School Security, Arming Teachers

Local leaders continue to react to Valentine's Day shooting at a Florida high school and the leader of one Logan County school says their district has done a lot in recent years to ensure the safety of their students.
 
Superintendent of Lincoln High School, Bob Bagby says it is disappointing that school leaders cannot guarantee the safety of their kids when they come to school.
 
 
Bagby feels people have gotten to a point where we do not value human life and says his students are becoming immune to this type of happening.
 
 
School districts across the country have been increasingly proactive in their efforts to protect students and Lincoln High School is no exception. Bagby says they've added numerous security measures to their building and are going to continue to do so.
 
 
Allowing teachers to carry guns in school during the day has been discussed a great deal of late and Bagby is not sure if that is something is he is for or not. He feels maybe that is something that could work for certain teachers but would rather have more resources given to mental health and more money for school resource officers.
 
 
Bagby feels schools need the resources to help students who have a mental health issue. Like many other districts, he points out their district has multiple school buildings and students walking from one building to the other.
