An extreme bill advancing in the state legislature would arm Florida teachers – and divert education funds to cover the costs to do so.
Arming teachers puts children, educators, and staff at greater risk of gun violence in our schools – and a committee of Florida senators are preparing to vote on this dangerous measure.

Dear Lawmaker,
As a concerned Florida resident, I urge you to vote no on the controversial bill SB 7030 and any measures that would expand the Guardian program to include arming teachers.
An overwhelming body of evidence indicates that arming teachers puts children and the school community at a greater risk of gun violence in our schools, and would impede the response of law enforcement to an active shooter incident.
For this reason, law enforcement, educators, students, and parents across Florida oppose arming teachers and bringing more guns into our schools.
Please vote NO on SB 7030 and oppose any measures that would arm school teachers.
