PIERRE, S.D. (AP) ? A deeply divided South Dakota legislative committee approved a bill Friday that would allow school districts to arm teachers and other personnel with guns to protect against attacks like last month's school shooting in Connecticut. Supporters said school boards need the option of arming teachers, administrators or volunteers to protect against attacks, particularly in rural school districts where no law enforcement officers are stationed in school buildings. Rep. Dan Kaiser- R-Aberdeen, a police officer, said the Legislature should trust local school boards to decide whether to have armed personnel in school buildings. The bill would allow individual school boards to create so-called sentinel programs, authorizing the arming of school employees, hired security officers or volunteers.
