The group representing Illinois school boards has again rejected a resolution supporting the arming of teachers and other school employees with guns. The Illinois Association of School Boards voted down the measure Saturday during their annual convention in Chicago. It is the second straight year that the IASB membership has rejected the proposal. The most compelling argument against the resolution was the safety risk it would create in school districts. There are over 850 school districts in Illinois.
