TAVARES, Fla. — Most of the 2,700 people who responded to a survey oppose arming staffers at Lake County Schools, the school district said Wednesday.
The survey, which was posted on social media and on the district's website, asked participants whether they'd support school personnel, such as administrators, ROTC instructors, service members and law enforcement officers, having access to a secured weapon.
Of the 264 employees who responded, about 55 percent are opposed.
