Knox County Schools Superintendent Jon Rysewyk said he has no plans to ask the board of education to create a policy to allow teachers to carry guns at school because the district already has strong security in place.

“Knox County Schools has no intention of recommending a policy to the board,” Superintendent Jon Rysewyk wrote in an email to Knox News.

Gov. Bill Lee signed into law April 26 a measure that allows teachers and staff to carry guns in school buildings, but only with the approval of the district superintendent, school principal and a local law enforcement agency.
