House Bill 99, which is the Ohio law allowing school employees like teachers to be armed in schools, has taken effect.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine signed the bill into law back in June as he sent a letter to superintendents throughout the state to state arming school employees is optional.
“Arming school personnel is a serious decision that is left up entirely to your school," he wrote in his June note. "It is optional. It is one of many tools that you can choose based on your unique school situation. Other tools, such as a school safety officer, may serve your school better. I signed this bill because we know some schools want to do this and know that each school situation is different. I did not want to deny schools this option and wanted to make sure that if a school chooses this option that all training hours are directly relevant to situations that could occur in schools. However, I have made it clear that, in my opinion, the much preferred option is to have a school resource officer in each school building."
