OPPOSE:Adds private schools and dictates policy for them.
Please for consideration: I teach in a regional vocational setting for secondary education however the courses I teach is included in a public safty division. The three instructors teaching law enforcement, Emergency Medical Technician and Fire all have a section in our curriculum of how to secure a weapon for safty purposes. Student who are put out into a clinical mentorship need to know how to safely secure a weapon for their own safty plus the safty of the community. Would you please include an exception in your bill for those classes in a vocational setting that need a safty component for their currriculum
