Senate President Bill Galvano threw his support behind revising a state law that governs training for school guardians, after a dispute between Palm Beach County schools and a private security firm ended up in court.
Galvano said he wants the Senate to work on "clarifying" a school safety law, which outlines the training requirements for armed school personnel, including classroom teachers, under the guardian program.
The legislative tweak, which would be considered during the 2020 legislative session that begins in January, comes amid legal wrangling between the Palm Beach County School Board and a private company hired by the district to train armed guardians for charter schools.
