. It also comes mere weeks after a San Antonio-area school district voted in favor of letting teachers pack.
Of the 5,100 Texas AFT members who responded to the union's survey, 76% of respondents — three-quarters of which work as secondary school teachers — said they don't want to be armed. Still, 90% of those surveyed said they're worried about an event similar to the tragedy in Uvalde unfolding at their school.
Despite that apparent statewide resistance, the board of the La Vernia Independent School District east of San Antonio last monthto let some instructors carry firearms on campus. In a poll, 80% of the largely rural district's faculty and 88% of parents voted in favor of arming teachers under Texas' Protection of Texas Children Act Guardian Program.
That plan lets districts give permission to anyone, including educators, to carry firearms on district campuses.
