Armed school staff will get a $500 stipend

What happened

On December 9, 2025, the board gave final approval to a rule letting the district's Armed Educator Committee set pay for staff who carry concealed guns at school. The committee will offer a $500 stipend plus repayment for training materials.

Why it matters to families

CCSD allows trained staff to carry concealed guns at school. Paying a stipend may change how many staff take part, which matters to families with views on guns in schools.

The evidence

The December 9, 2025 minutes record unanimous approval of Administrative Regulation 4341-R Section 4. They also report that the committee 'will offer armed educators a $500.00 stipend and reimbursement for training materials'.
