Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne is telling schools to prioritize armed officers over counselors. Local parents who work for the education system said that is dangerous.
TUCSON, Ariz. — As Brieanne Buttner cooked dinner for her daughter and talked to her about her day, she was left wondering whether her daughter would be safe at school the next day.Arizona State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Horne announced he is prioritizing armed officers in schools in grants rather than school counselors.
“I think that that’s the main reason why our schools are not as safe as they can be, is because we don’t have enough staff,” Buttner said. As TUSD parent and employee Corina Ontiveros picked up her daughter, she was appreciative of the security TUSD already has, like doors that only allow people to go in the building if they’re buzzed in from the inside.
