MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — A Republican authored bill would allow Wisconsin school teachers to carry firearms.
Waukesha State Representative Scott Allen says the bill would give school boards and districts more options to better protect their students.
Under the bill local school boards would voluntarily choose to create their own concealed carry policy for school staff. Similar legislation was authored by Allen in April of 2023, but no action was taken by the time the legislature adjourned in April of 2024.
Current state law forbids firearms from being on school property.
