LOL!
The ONLY obvious way to solve this ‘problem’ is to use real ammo the next time.
The teachers, along with ISTA, are now trying to stop this from happening again in other schools. On Wednesday, Gail Zeheralis, director of government relations for the ISTA, asked lawmakers to alter a school-safety bill to add language prohibiting teachers from being shot with any sort of ammunition.
“What we’re looking for is just a simple statement in this bill that would prohibit the shooting of some type of projectile at staff in an active shooter drill,” she said, according to IndyStar.
Under H.B. 1004, Indiana schools must have at least one active shooter drill per year, though it doesn’t include rules on what training program a school chooses.
White County sheriff Bill Brooks, whose department led the training in question, told IndyStar that teachers “all knew they could be” shot, but after they were told that one teacher was upset by the exercise, the department stopped using the airsoft guns. He added that he was not sure of how many times airsoft guns have been used for the training.
Barbara Deardorff, an ISTA official, told the newspaper that she hadn’t heard of teachers being shot with pellets: “This is not the normal practice.”
The State Senate’s Education Committee will consider amendments for the bill next week, IndyStar reported.
