Florida Mother to Pay for Elementary School's Armed Guard
A Florida mother is footing the bill for a full-time armed deputy at her child’s elementary school, a bill that will total $12,000 over the next two months, according to an article from the New York Daily News.
Laura Lauria is paying $32 per hour to place an off-duty deputy at Old Kings Elementary School in Flagler County, the article says. She made a “verbal commitment” to fund the deputy, Superintendent Janet Valentine told The Daytona Beach News-Journal. A sixth grader by the last name Lauria is enrolled at the school.
