Virginia AG says school districts can't arm teachers

Attorney General Mark Herring says a Southwest Virginia school district doesn’t have the authority to arm its teachers, according to a legal opinion released Tuesday.

Herring wrote that the state’s laws limiting guns on school grounds extend to teachers and other staff members who don’t fit into security and law enforcement roles defined by the General Assembly.
