Board reviews alternative concealed-carry models; no action taken
Summary
Policy 8705 (concealed firearms) was revisited after outside groups provided alternate models; trustees discussed a 17-page draft and a 2-page alternative and agreed to review policies and potentially invite presenters before deciding.
The superintendent (speaker 2) told trustees Policy 8705 was placed back on the agenda after American Freedom Defense (AFD) and another institution provided model policies for the board to review. "They were very adamant that a 17 11 page concealed firearms policy is way too much. Theirs is a 2 pager," the superintendent said, summarizing external feedback.
Board members discussed inviting vendors to meet with staff and the board to present training and services (evacuations, risk assessments, concealed-carry training) and whether the policy provisions would be practical to implement. Trustee (speaker 4) suggested bringing policy back at a later meeting for more review; there was no action at this meeting. The superintendent said he would revisit the matter with trustees if needed and noted no immediate action was required.
