The Missouri House endorsed legislation Wednesday that could allow more school employees to be trained to carry guns as protection officers.
Under current state law, teachers and administrators already can be designated as school protection officers if they complete 112 hours of basic training and an additional 18 hours every two years.
The legislation would expand that option to all school personnel, such as cooks, custodians, maintenance staff and others.
