Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring Is Considering A Decision By The Lee County School Board To Arm Their Teachers And Staff. The Board Plans To Ask A Judge To Exempt Them From State Law. Herring Is Considering His Next Move. Virginia Law Prohibits Guns In Schools With Only A Few Exceptions. So Far, 37 Teachers And Staff Members Have Submitted Applications Volunteering To Carry Guns In School After The Plan Was Discussed Last Month. If A Judge Approves The Plan, The County Can Begin The Process Of Providing Weapons To Employees.
