Another Area School District to Allow Guns on Campus

PALESTINE — A third East Texas school district has approved allowing teachers to carry handguns on campus. The Westwood School District approved the measure Monday night. Under the “Guardian Plan,” teachers who have their own concealed handgun license will be trained and licensed to carry guns on campus. The district’s school board approved the measure by a 5 to 1 vote. Westwood now joins Van and Union Grove in implementing such a plan.
