Parents of Shooting Victims Push Legislation

(5 Mar 2018) The families of the 17 Florida high school massacre victims called on the state legislature to pass a bill they believe would improve security at the state's schools. Reading a statement outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Monday, father Ryan Petty implored the legislature to pass Gov. Rick Scott's proposal that seeks adding armed security guards, keeping guns away from the mentally ill and improving mental health programs for at risk teens. Petty's 14-year old-daughter Alaina was killed in the Feb 14 shooting, along with 13 schoolmates and three staff members. Monday, the Florida Senate named a program that will allow some teachers to carry guns in schools after an assistant high school football coach who was killed in a school shooting on Feb. 14 in Broward County. On Monday, the senate amended its school safety bill to limit which teachers could volunteer to go through law enforcement training and carry guns in schools. Any teacher who does nothing but work in a classroom would be exempt from the program, but teachers who perform other duties, such as serving as a coach, and other school employees could still participate. Others exceptions would be made for teachers who are current or former law enforcement officers, members of the military or who teach in a Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps program. The amendment also names the program for Aaron Feis, an assistant football coach killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School during the Feb. 14 shootings.. He has been hailed as a hero for shielding students during the attack. The Senate also voted to name the program after Aaron Feis, a 37-year-old assistant coach and security specialist who graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in 1999 and worked mainly with the junior varsity, living in nearby Coral Springs with his wife and daughter.
